To
ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much his Department spent on
interpreters and translation services in each month from January 2012 to August
2013.

The
previous system for booking interpreters was flawed and did not provide value
for money. Over the first year of the contract with Capita Translation and
Interpretation (starting January 2012) the Department has saved over £16
million in the provision of interpretation and translation services.
The
following tables set out the monthly spend through the Capita contract; during
this period courts and tribunals have also been using off contract. During the
early months of the contract, off contract bookings were more prevalent—this
has decreased significantly as Capita’s transition has completed (and therefore
spend with Capita has increased). Spend information on off contract bookings is
not centrally available.
The
months of October and November 2012 were billed as a single combined invoice,
as are January and February.
