Question To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisons have dedicated equalities departments. Answer (Mr Sam Gyimah) Prison Governors are responsible for identifying a functional head with lead responsibility for coordinating equalities work within the prison, ensuring that there is a coherent approach to equalities obligations. Every prison has been allocated resources for an equality officer and Governors are free to deploy this resource in a way that best meets the needs of their population. |
