Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice (Sir Nicholas Dakin)

We inherited a set of contracts from the previous Government, some of which are not performing as we would like, particularly in the areas of maintenance and electronic tagging. The Prisons Minister in the other place is gripping this situation and driving progress, with regular meetings to review performance.
