Question

To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to the findings of the Prison Officers’ Association in its report, Crisis Point Reached - The Pressures Facing Scotland’s Prison Officers Uncovered, which indicate that 91% of prison officers do not believe that they will be physically or mentally capable of working until the state pension age of 68.

Answered by Gray, Neil - Cabinet Secretary for Justice

Prison officers play a vital role in our justice system, helping to ensure our prisons are safe, secure and stable environments for all that live and work there. Unlike other uniformed groups, prison officers do not have a dedicated pension scheme as they are members of the Civil Service pension scheme which is a reserved matter for the UK Government.

The Scottish Government has strongly supported the position of the Prison Officers’ Association that the retirement age of prison officers be brought into line with armed forces, police, and firefighters who retire at 60. This reflects the operational environment and physical demands associated with the role which can be particularly challenging.

On 10 September 2026, I wrote to Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Rt Hon John Healey MP urging him to give this matter urgent attention.
