I consider that, as a general principle, it would be inappropriate for me, in response to a parliamentary question, to provide information in relation to disciplinary action taken in individual cases in the prison service. I consider that any questions that arise in relation to such matters are best dealt with between the prison authorities and the officer concerned, with, if need be, the involvement of the officer's staff association. Well established channels exists for the resolution of questions of this nature.
