Answer from Hansard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice (Sir Nicholas Dakin)
I pay tribute to the essential work that our prison officers do, day in, day out. This year’s pay award delivered another real-terms pay rise for our frontline prison staff. We are committed to effective training and development of existing staff, as delivered through the Enable programme, alongside the provision of extensive wellbeing services.
