To ask the Minister of State, Ministry of Justice on what basis the post of Head of Personnel at HM Prison Wormwood Scrubs is entitled to receive the required hours allowance; and if she will make a statement. (143410)

Prison Service policy is that only managers in paybands E, F and G will receive required hours addition (RHA) allowance. The post of Head of Personnel at HMP Wormwood Scrubs has recently been incorporated within the HR Business Partner role, and is graded at senior manager, payband D. This post does not attract the payment of RHA.
