Prison Officers: Vacancies

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prison officer positions were vacant in (a) October, (b) November and (c) December 2023.

Answer

Workforce figures have only been published up to September 2023. Data up to December 2023 is set to be published on the 15 February 2024 and until these workforce figures are released, we are unable to respond to this question as any data provided could pre-empt the February publication.
