asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the industrial action currently being taken by staff in penal establishments, the establishments concerned and the number of staff involved; and what were the stated reasons for the dispute and the effects of the dispute.
In addition to a number of disputes at particular establishments over local matters such as manning levels and efficiency improvements, there are four national disputes relating to procedural issues on the use of force reports, procedures for internal investigations, non-co-operation in the use of radio-pagers and non-co-operation in the supply of statistical information regarding movements to courts. Discussions are taking place or are to take place on the resolution of all these issues. None of the disputes at present has had any more than a marginal effect on prisoners and others.
