Jim Cunningham – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jim Cunningham on 2014-06-17.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much was spent on professional interpretation services by each prison in England and Wales in 2013; and on how many occasions such interpretation services were used in each prison in 2013.
Jeremy Wright
The Ministry of Justice Language Services Contract commenced on the 31st October 2011 and went live operationally in January 2012. The new interpreting contract was introduced to tackle the inefficiencies and inconsistencies in the previous system and saved taxpayers £15m in its first year. We have seen dramatic improvements over the life of the contract so far, with performance currently at 94% success rate, record numbers of bookings are now being made and fulfilled, and we continue to drive further improvement in performance.
The number of occasions on which interpretation services were used, and the total cost of these for each prison in 2013, can be found in the table below:
