uin	208483
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>It is standard practice for the Major Projects Authority (MPA) to undertake assessments of major projects and programmes, such as the Transforming Rehabilitation (TR) reforms to the Probation Service. The MPA has had full access to the TR programme documentation, and the MPA’s assessments, which are focused on assuring delivery of the reforms, are provided in confidence to the programme leadership. In order not to prejudice commercial interests, there are no plans to publish the MPA assessment in the House of Commons Library.</p><p> </p><p>The programme of reforms is on track. We are currently managing the competition which will appoint the owners of the 21 Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs). We have a healthy competition across all areas with over 80 bidders and an average of 4 bidders per contract package area. Bids are currently being rigorously assessed, and we are on track to announce the contract winners for each CRC by the end of 2014.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 11/09/2014 15:42:36 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2014 answer text <p>Overall reoffending rates have barely changed over the last decade. Under our Transforming Rehabilitation Reforms, we will draw on the best services from across the public, private and voluntary sectors so that we can deliver better rehabilitation support to more offenders, reduce the number of potential victims and make our communities safer.

This must be completed before a prisoner is transferred to open conditions. It is not unusual for prisoners who have been recategorised to a lower category to be held in a prison of a higher security category pending further assessment; or, for example, where there is need to complete medical treatment or courses.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 10/09/2014 15:02:34 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
