Minister, thank you for that detailed answer. To be honest with you, I knew most of that. Here is the point: 96 officers were assaulted, while we can count the rest of the assaults on one hand. Surely it makes sense for the Northern Ireland Civil Service handbook to treat the Prison Service as separate from the rest of the Civil Service.
62 words. Text as published by the Northern Ireland Assembly.

Assessment
Not analysed
This is the same MLA’s follow-up within the exchange on their own question. It is analysed together with that question and is not counted separately, so one question is never counted twice.
