star this property answer text <p>In answer to the Right Honourable Gentleman, we do take any health and safety matters raised seriously and particularly so in the context of prison safety where I have been clear as to this being our priority. It is unlawful for prison officers to take industrial action and that includes the example provided in the question. Such action immediately places the safety of staff and prisoners at risk. I hope that the Right Honourable gentleman would agree that the right way to deal with any health and safety grievance raised by prison officers is through the continuation of local dialogue and then potentially further discussion at a regional and national level if an agreed way forward cannot be found. We are, for example, currently working constructively with the Prison Officers Association to address a number of health and safety actions which were discussed at a national level and jointly agreed in November 2016.</p> more like this
