Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when his Department last audited the management of Northumbria Probation Service by Sodexo.
We regularly review the operations of each Community Rehabilitation Company to make sure they fulfil their contractual commitments to maintain service delivery, reduce reoffending, protect the public and deliver value for money to the taxpayer. An operational assurance audit of Northumbria Community Rehabilitation Company was completed in June 2015.
