Ministry of Justice: G4S
(asked on 6th February 2018) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many fines G4S has paid under contracts with his Department in each year since 2010; and for what reason each of those fines was imposed.
Contracts do not include fines and penalties as these are not recognised in English Law. The term used is ‘Financial remedies’ and this is what the PQ has been interpreted to request.
The Ministry of Justice regards well-run prisons as fundamental to the proper functioning of our justice system, and a vital part of our reform plans. Privately managed prison providers achieve the majority of their contractual targets. However, we will not hesitate to take action where standards fall short. Privately managed prison contracts set out a strict performance framework, consisting of prescriptive performance targets. Failure by the provider to meet performance results in performance points and, potentially, financial remedies being applied against the provider. The total value of financial remedies imposed for each financial year has been provided and is included in the below table.
Year | Value of Financial Remedy | Percentage of Financial Remedy against annual contract(s) value |
2010/2011 | £257,797 | 0.3% |
2011/2012 | £166,830 | 0.5% |
2012/2013 | £1,105,386 | 0.5% |
2013/2014 | £1,181,929 | 0.51% |
2014/2015 | £804,041 | 0.4% |
2015/2016 | £557,298 | 0.34% |
2016/2017 | £2,879,040 | 1.12% |
2017/2018 | Figures not yet finalised | Figures not yet finalised |
Total | £6,952,321 |
