Long Service Medals For Prison Officers

EDM number 739 in 2005-06, proposed by Mark Oaten on 12/10/2005.

That this House calls on the Government to introduce a long-service medal for prison officers, in line with medals for other Crown servants like the police, to recognise properly that Prison Officers work in a difficult and pressurised environment often facing testing situations and that they do so with great professionalism and dedication; and believes that the current arrangements fail to do justice to their contribution to prison safety.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
