Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what (a) fines and (b) other financial penalties have been paid to his Department by (i) Sodexo and (ii) Sodexo subsidiaries for failures to meet contractual obligations in each year since 2010.
This PQ has been interpreted to mean the level of financial remedies that the Ministry of Justice has been in receipt of from Sodexo, or Sodexo subsidiaries, in relation to failure to meet contractual performance obligations since 2010.
We manage all of our privately managed prison contracts with Sodexo, or Sodexo subsidiaries, robustly and deal with any performance issues in accordance with the mechanisms of the contracts. Privately managed prison providers achieve the majority of their contractual targets; however, we will not hesitate to take action where standards fall short.
