Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Written Statement of 19 July 2017, HCWS81, on Justice Update, which community rehabilitation companies have had their contracts amended.

All 21 Community Rehabilitation Companies have had their contracts amended so they can focus on activities that best rehabilitate offenders and keep society safe. This additional investment will see projected payments to providers being no higher than originally budgeted for at the time of the reforms.
