Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what recent discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on restarting negotiations with the Prison Officers Association over the pension age of prison officers.
Answered by Nicholas Dakin - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury
The pension age in all public sector pension schemes is set under legislation by HM Treasury, and the merits of any review in pension age would be for them to consider. The Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice is committed to listening and working with officers, staff and trade unions, and Ministers will continue to meet with the Prison Officer’s Association and other unions to discuss a range of issues. We highly value our hardworking prison officers and take very seriously the safety of all staff working within prisons, whatever their age.
