Following a visit to Ford open prison the Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, (Mr. Sutcliffe) wrote to the local Prison Officers' Association branch chairman on 30 May 2007 announcing a review to examine if there was firm evidence to support the carrying of batons in all areas of the prison estate that do not currently carry them. The National POA were informed of the review in June 2007. More recently the review was discussed at a meeting between the POA and the Justice Secretary on 30 October 2007. The Secretary of State has also discussed the issue with a number of local POA branches on recent visits to establishments.
