In 2015 however, the Director of Public Sector Prisons approved the introduction of a bespoke scheme under which Prison Officers were invited to enter into contracts to work a set number of additional hours over a 14 week period.</p><p> </p><p>Staff who enter into these contracts are paid a bonus at the end of the 14 week period after having completed the agreed number of additional hours. The level of bonus payments, which are funded from existing NOMS budgets, is set at either £150 or £275 depending on the agreed number of additional hours. To provide details of the number of staff who have received such payments within the time available would incur disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 12/07/2016 14:41:21 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2016 answer text <p>We do not maintain records that distinguish between the numbers of passports surrendered voluntarily or otherwise by individuals subject to Football Banning Orders. A criminal conviction is not always required before a person becomes subject to a Football Banning Order. The police or Crown Prosecution Service may apply to the court for such an Order against an individual where there is evidence that the individual has caused or contributed to violence or disorder in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, and that making a banning order would help to prevent violence or disorder at or in connection with a regulated football match.</p><p>Individuals subject to Football Banning Orders are required to surrender their passport to the police during a control period set to cover an international football tournament or an individual overseas match. The control period for the 2016 European Championship is from 31 May to 10 July 2016, and as of 15 June, 1,393 passports had been accounted for which is 99% of passports held by those who were subject to Football Banning Orders at the start of the tournament.</p><p>During the control period for the 2012 European Championship, 1,821 passports were accounted for which amounted to 95% of those subject to orders and who had a passport. In the control period for the 2014 World Cup, 1,430 passports were accounted for which amounted to 98% of those with orders who had passports.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 27/06/2016 12:07:28 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
