Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the report, A thematic review of work to prepare for the unification of probation services, published by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Probation in May 2021, whether the transition of the unpaid work scheduling systems used by MTC and Seetec has completed.

The Probation Reform Programme is working to ensure that the systems and tools used for unpaid work scheduling by staff in Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) owned by Seetec and MTC will continue to be available to those staff that use them. The necessary activity to ensure they are in place is due to be completed by the middle of June.
