Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will place the documents relating to the contract signed in 2017 between the Government and G4S for the electronic tagging of offenders in the Library.

A redacted version of the new contract between the Ministry of Justice and G4S for electronic monitoring hardware equipment will be published on Contracts Finder in line with current transparency regulations. We are currently planning to sign the contract by the end of October 2017. I will write to the Honourable gentleman when the contract has been published.

The field monitoring services including fitting and removal of tags and the monitoring provision is provided by Capita Business Services Limited.
