Public Accounts Committee

Department of Justice and Equality - Review of Allowances

11:30 am

Mr. John Clinton:

Not in all instances would overtime have been forced on people. Prison officers could volunteer to work overtime but if the governor needed 20 extra people and only ten had volunteered, he could then compel ten people to come in on overtime.
