Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Jake Richards and Brian Leishman

Tuesday 30th June 2026 Commons Chamber

[Brian Leishman (Alloa and Grangemouth) (Lab)]

Mr Speaker, 68 is far too late. When will prison officers achieve a fair, just and—crucially—lower retirement age?

[Jake Richards]

I thank my hon. Friend for his continued championing of this cause. We regularly meet the Prison Officers’ Association and will continue to do so. Prison officers do incredible work every day, up and down the country, and we will continue that dialogue.
