Answer from Hansard

The Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice (Mr David Lammy)

The safety of our prison staff is a No. 1 priority for me. That is why we are investing £40 million to stop the contraband that puts our hard-working staff particularly at risk. We are also rolling out protective body armour for use in the highest security units and trialling the use of Tasers for specialised staff.
