Wymott Prison: Occupational Health

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice for what reasons a staff notice was issued to prison officers at HMP Wymott on the wearing of tie pins.
Answer

The notice to staff at HMP Wymott, reminding staff of existing Prison Service policy on wearing tie pins with uniform, was issued in response to the circulation of a new tie pin by the POA which commemorated the unlawful strike action taken by prison officers on 29 August 2007. Prison Service policy is that wearing a tie pin of this political nature on uniform would be incompatible with the Service's role.
