Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of successful prosecutions for assaults by prisoners on prison officers resulted in a (a) concurrent sentence and (b) consecutive sentence in each year since 2010.
Detailed information on the proportion of successful prosecutions for assaults by prisoners on prison officers that resulted in a (a) concurrent sentence and (b) consecutive sentence since 2010 is held on court record but to be able to identify these cases we would have to access individual court records which would be of disproportionate cost.
