Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the implications for her Department's policies of the report by Liberty entitled G4S: a history of discrimination, human rights violations, malpractice and mismanagement in the UK, published in 2016.

The Home Office has a rigorous governance process in place for all required goods and services. Suppliers are subject to robust due diligence during the well established, transparent and fair procurement process. Following procurement, every provider commissioned by the Home Office is held accountable via contractual compliance arrangements. Strategic suppliers such as G4S are actively managed across Government and are subject to internal and external governance protocols.
