Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, to what extent contracts between her Department and community rehabilitation companies are dependent on offenders under supervision completing their orders.
Community Rehabilitation Companies are paid on the basis of volumes of offenders entering the system, reducing reoffending and services provided for offenders not allocated to them. Performance metrics capture data and information on offenders completing their orders. Should they fail to meet the level required, funds can be recovered to compensate for the reduced provision in service.
