Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the Answer of 28 March 2022 to Question 144981 on Prisons: Labour Turnover, what the relevant leaving rates are for non-directly employed prison staff.

This information is not held centrally. All staffing matters for contractors working in prisons, including leaving rates, are the responsibility of those contract providers. There is no requirement in the contracts to agree such matters with the Ministry of Justice.

Providers of contracted services play an important role in the prison estate and we continue to monitor them to ensure they maintain safe, decent and secure prisons.
