Andy Slaughter – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andy Slaughter on 2015-12-09.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many times the National Tactical Response Group (NTRG) has been called out in each month in 2015; and to which prison the NTRG was called out in each case.

Mr Shailesh Vara

Any violence in prison is unacceptable – especially when it is directed at our hardworking staff.

We have a zero tolerance approach to violence and work closely with the police on this issue. Those who are violent could face extra time behind bars. Anyone found to have broken prison rules will be stripped of their privileges and could have time added to their sentence.

The following tables set out the occasions from 1st January 2015 until 9th December 2015 when the National Tactical Response Group (NTRG) has been called out to public and private sector establishments.

The information does not include aborted callouts.
