Written Question
Prison Officers: Older Workers
Wednesday 23rd October 2019

Asked by: Marie Rimmer (Labour - St Helens South and Whiston)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what recent assessment he has made of the implications for his policy on prison officer pensions of the ability of those officers to continue frontline work beyond the age of 60.

Answered by Lucy Frazer

Whilst we highly value our hardworking prison staff, there has been no assessment made of the implications of the pension policy of the ability of those officers to continue frontline work beyond the age of 60.

The Ministry supports all its staff, especially those working in an operational environment, and offers all staff access to medical professionals for physical and mental wellbeing.
