Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to his Department’s news story of 5 November 2019, Approved Enforcement Agency Services Contract Awarded, whether he has consulted with respective police forces on any potential extension of warrant activities placed on them as a result of those awards.
HMCTS has issued regular updates to the National Police Chiefs Council about the project to award the Approved Enforcement Agency Services Contract. The new services should not result in any extension of warrant activities undertaken by the police so it is not expected that these contracts will have a significant impact on police forces.
