Miss Widdecombe

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what changes he proposes to the powers of the Prison Officers Association. [21301]

Ms Quin

We have no plans to change the powers of the Prison Officers Association (POA). However, we have regular meetings with representatives of the Association at which a variety of issues including the powers and responsibilities of the Prison Officer Association are discussed.
