Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will publish the business cases for requests for additional funding by community rehabilitation companies.

We have made changes to how CRCs are paid for future years 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.

Any business case for additional funding for Community Rehabilitation Companies contains commercially sensitive and legally privileged information and, therefore, will not be published.
