Grayling: Parts of Serco 'totally unacceptable'

The Justice Secretary Chris Grayling hit out at private security firm Serco, after potentially fraudulent behaviour emerged in the management of its £285 million prison escorting contract.

It's become very clear there has been a culture within parts of Serco that has been totally unacceptable, and actions which need to be investigated by the police.

We have not seen evidence of systemic malpractice up to board level, but we have been clear with the company - unless it undertakes a rapid process of major change, and becomes completely open with Government about the work it is doing for us, then it will not win public contracts in future.

The taxpayer must know that their money is being properly used.

– Justice Secretary Chris Grayling
