answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2015 answer text <p>Security is paramount within prisons and it is important that the risk of any potential key compromise is addressed as quickly as possible to protect the public.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2015 answer text <p>This information was provided to the House on 17 March 2015. As I told the house then, Just Solutions International (JSi) was a brand within the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) that the Agency adopted in early 2013. The Ministry of Justice contracted with PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) for the provision of support for the development by NOMS of a business model to generate commercial income through the provision of advice and support to other governments on prison and probation issues. The contract was awarded to PwC in September 2012 and was for a period of 8 months from January to August 2013. The amount paid for the provision of services was £101,179 excluding VAT.</p><br /><p>Through JSi, NOMS also worked with PwC in Pakistan supporting reform of Punjab prisons. This project was funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth office, which paid PwC £7,308.40 excluding VAT.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 14/12/2015 17:18:27 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
