Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 20 February 2018 to question 127068, how much of those financial remedies incurred by G4S was in relation to each contract that company has held with his Department; and for what reasons each such financial remedy was imposed.

The attached table details the total value of financial remedy imposed against each contract for each financial year. Financial remedies are imposed under the agreed Payment Mechanism System when the Key Performance Scores are below the required level.

Private providers performance is closely monitored by the Ministry of Justice and we will not hesitate to act where standards fall short. It is important to recognise that providers achieve the majority of their contractual targets.
