answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>The levels of staff in each prison allocated to handling, processing and checking of prisoners' post varies according to the security category and size of each prison and is not recorded centrally. To determine the numbers of staff engaged in this activity for the periods in question could only be determined by asking each prison to calculate these numbers using historic records. This cannot be done without incurring disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 08/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
