answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2014 answer text <p>The offences of using a TV receiver without a valid licence and of failure to hold a valid vehicle excise duty licence (tax disc) are not punishable by imprisonment, so offenders cannot be sentenced to custody for these offences. Failing to pay council tax is not a criminal offence. Accordingly, there were no men or women serving custodial sentences on 1 March 2014 for non-payment of a TV licence, vehicle excise duty or council tax.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 02/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2014 answer text <p>We have a robust and diverse market. In mid December 2013, the bidders who passed the first stage of the competition to win the regional rehabilitation contracts were announced. The list includes a mix of private and voluntary sector partnerships with more than 50 organisations represented – from charities experienced in tackling a range of issues affecting offenders, to small and large British businesses and experienced multinationals. All of these Tier one bidders have experience in working with offenders or across the wider Criminal Justice System. Approximately one third of the bidders included a potential mutual organisation within their consortium. A list of the bidders who have been successful at this stage can be found at:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.justice.gov.uk/transforming-rehabilitation/competition" target="_blank">https://www.justice.gov.uk/transforming-rehabilitation/competition</a></p><p> </p><p>The process to award Community Rehabilitation Company contracts is ongoing and the details of which bidders are interested in bidding for each Contract Package Area (CPA) is commercially sensitive information, which it would not be right to make public at this stage as this would affect the bidding process for the overall competition. Additionally, for similar commercial reasons it is not general practice to release information on those organisations which have withdrawn from the competition.</p><p> </p><p>As requested by the Authority, all bidders updated their CPA preferences on 22<sup>nd</sup> January. The current lot preferences are an initial indication of the bidders for each region. This is not finalised and we will be conducting another refresh of lot preferences before final bids are submitted.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 31/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
