This role is carried out in addition to other duties they may hold in a prison and so have not been included in the figures provided.</p><p> </p><p>The vast majority of staff undertake their duties with honesty and integrity. However, the Prison Service is committed to investigating and eliminating corruption to ensure prisons remain a safe and secure environment for staff, prisoners and visitors.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 28/02/2017 16:58:07 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
