The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent Question about the Prison Service project to reduce violence against staff.The position on this project remains unchanged from that given in my letter of 20 December in reply to your earlier Question (Hansard 20 December, col 251), in which I indicated that there are no plans to publish the internal report which contains the preliminary results.
