HMP Garth and HMP Wymott are successful prisons that do great work rehabilitating prisoners, but the Ministry of Justice has plans to put a third prison on the site, almost doubling the number of prisoners there—[Interruption.]

I acknowledge what my hon. Friend says about the concerns that people have. She could not be faulted for the strength and consistency with which she has campaigned on behalf of her constituents on these matters, and particularly the transport infrastructure that she mentions. She knows this, because there are already two prisons there, but a new prison delivers hundreds of construction jobs locally, hundreds of ongoing jobs and a whole range of roles and careers, with a very significant boost to the local economy.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what information his Department holds on a recent assault made on a prison officer at HMP Wymott involving a prisoner throwing boiling water at that officer; and what steps he is taking to protect prison officers from such assaults.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what information his Department holds on a recent assault made on a prison officer at HMP Wymott involving a prisoner throwing boiling water at that officer; and what steps he is taking to protect prison officers from such assaults.
While I cannot comment on individual cases, I would like to reassure The hon. Member for West Lancashire, Rosie Cooper MP, and the prison officer involved that assaults on our hard-working staff will never be tolerated. Prisoners can expect to face sanctions and, for serious assaults, be investigated by the police. The Assaults on Emergency Workers (Offences) Act 2018 received Royal Assent on 13 September 2018. This doubles the maximum sentence for an assault on an emergency worker, including prison officers, that a criminal court may impose.
Alongside our work with the police and CPS to prosecute such offences, to protect our prison staff we have invested in 5,600 body-worn cameras and are rolling out rigid-bar handcuffs. Early next year we will begin to equip every prison officer in the adult male prison estate with incapacitant spray – PAVA. PAVA can help to prevent serious harm to staff and prisoners alike, as well as being a tool to persuade prisoners in the act of violence to stop. Only prisons who have rolled out the key worker scheme – which is vital in building relationships between offenders and staff – will get PAVA. It will be a crucial step in our efforts to help reduce serious harm in prisons.
