Labour — Newcastle upon Tyne North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 October 2026

Debate

Electronic Monitoring of Offenders

Contribution

The contract with Serco was signed by the Conservative party, and its performance did not originally meet expectations, but we have focused on driving rapid improvement and ensuring that we turn that failing performance around, so that it is meeting contractual expectations and working with us at pace to make the improvements that we want to see in our system. We will continue to keep all these matters under review, as we would with any contract that the Government have entered into.
