To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many prison officer staff have contested dismissal through tribunal from HMP Whitemoor in each of the last 10 years; and what the outcome was in each case.

In 2007, the number of prison officer staff contesting their dismissal through an employment tribunal was five. Three of the cases are continuing. In one case the claim was unsuccessful and the other was settled. There have been no cases in 2008. Details in respect of earlier years are not available.
