| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “I do not think you are doing that.” | 8 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “Why not?” | 2 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “I am told that there is still up to a two-month wait for people to be tagged. Is that not right?” | 21 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “There does not seem to be any joined-up thinking between the two, which is illogical. That is why I asked you the question. Would you agree that, if these foreign criminals were deported in a timely way, it would actually take a lot of pressure off the—” | 47 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “We are trying to get at how we sort out the Probation Service for the British taxpayer.” | 17 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “I would just like this question answered, if I can.” | 10 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “Would it take pressure off the Probation Service?” | 8 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “Permanent Secretary, this is not my area of expertise, but I have done some research and have some friends who work for the Probation Service who I have spoken to over the weekend. In the NAO report, the one thing that came through to me was that tagging—” | 48 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “—could be used much more effectively, and it has not been introduced. I looked at two reports—one in 2022 to 2024 for Rishi and another one for the MOJ in September 2025—where there were recommendations that more tagging could be used. I gather that it is incredibly powerful. You can use it to monitor alcohol. You can …” | 88 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “Geoffrey, this is quite important because it does not go just to a staffing issue that Clive was raising. You have missed an opportunity to use tagging far more extensively. We can go on to talk about Serco in a minute, but I would like to know why it is that there has been no progress on rolling out tagging.” | 60 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “I have one question for James.” | 6 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “Can I ask James one question? Again, I looked at some public data on the website, and I find that a staggering 10% of probation offenders are foreign.” | 28 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “Well, I will leave that on the record, then.” | 9 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “If you have started to test it, you have not been doing it, have you?” | 15 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “Let us start, if we could, with a question to James McEwen. Having done some work over the weekend, I would just like to clear this up. I looked at the latest probation figures. A staggering 10% are foreign, but probably more concerning is that 8% are defined as “not recorded”. The note for “not recorded” in the datase…” | 150 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “I started to ask about tagging. As I said, I have spoken to various people I know within the Probation Service, who say there are some extremely skilled staff working in the Probation Service. There are some highly skilled people. Again, I go back to these two reports that I mentioned earlier, one in 2022 to ’24 for Ri…” | 284 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “It is quite important, Geoffrey.” | 5 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “What is the penalty for not performing under the contract?” | 10 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “Is the contract fit for purpose?” | 6 |
| 1 Dec 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1235) “Finally, as we have heard today, they want more money and more staff. I do not think that is the case. They need better organisation and better use of what is available now digitally. The digital revolution has changed things completely. I learned about this alcohol monitoring. That is incredible. There is a huge chang…” | 65 |
