answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2017 answer text <p>G4S provide electronic monitoring hardware (tags and home monitoring units) under contract to the Ministry of Justice having ceased delivery of field services and monitoring operations in early 2014 when the contract was transferred to Capita. On 13th November 2017 a new contract with G4S for the supply of next generation electronic monitoring hardware devices was signed. The competition was fully in line with rigorous procurement regulations to ensure best value for the taxpayer. G4S was subject to stringent requirements throughout the process – including quality thresholds and financial standing. The hardware itself met strict technical specifications and was subject to a comprehensive testing regime. Capita continue to provide the field services and monitoring operations. Electronic monitoring is an important tool to improve supervision in the community and support offenders to change their lives. The contracts are subject to stringent specifications and the equipment has been rigorously tested to exacting performance standards. The Department has robust processes in place to monitor and manage contractors and will not hesitate to take action if standards fall short of those expected.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 14/12/2017 09:53:01 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2017 answer text <p>The Government has no immediate plans to extend the 28-day time limit for a referral under the unduly lenient sentences scheme but is considering the wider operation of the scheme. The 28-day time limit reflects similar constraints on defendants appealing against conviction or sentence and avoids ongoing uncertainty for the offender and victims about the sentence to be served.</p><p> </p><p>The Attorney General has announced that he will pilot a procedure whereby any relevant sentence imposed where reporting restrictions apply - which could mean an individual would be unaware of the sentence imposed by the court until after the 28-day time limit had expired – will be considered by the Law Officers under the scheme.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 12/12/2017 14:52:45 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
