Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many hours of time off in lieu staff at HMP Ranby have (a) accumulated and (b) been repaid in each of the last six months.

The data regarding the accumulated hours worked by staff as time off in lieu is not held centrally. This information could only be obtained at disproportionate as all individual staff records would need to be scrutinised.

The table below shows the number hours for which staff were paid overtime, or ‘Payment Plus’, in the last six months. Please note this cost includes overtime hours completed for other establishments.

We are making special payments to all of our hard-working prison staff who are going above and beyond the call of duty during these exceptional times.
