This request has been withdrawn by the person who made it. There may be an explanation in the correspondence below.

Dear National Offender Management Service,

Please provide copies of all NOMS Staff Corruption Strategic Threat Assessments since their inception.

Yours faithfully,

Dear National Offender Management Service,

During the financial year 2009/2010, how many named members of NOMS staff did the Corruption Prevention Unit receive intelligence about that suggested they were corrupt(i.e. trafficking drugs/mobile phones for, or in, inappropriate relationships with, prisoners etc)?

Yours faithfully,

Sharon Walby

Dear National Offender Management Service,

The Met Police employs about 400 staff who are full time and dedicated to preventing and investigating staff professional standards and corruption.

NOMS employ roughly the same number of staff as the Met Police. How many staff do they employ in a full time and DEDICATED (no other role) posts to up-hold professional standards and investigate corruption?

Yours faithfully,

Sharon Walby
