The UK has a zero-tolerance approach to fraud and robust controls against the diversion of aid to ensure that funds are used only for their intended purpose. These include due diligence assessments of our partners, mapping of funds through the delivery chain, regular programme monitoring and annual audits.
DFID’s programme Supporting Economic Empowerment and Development in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (SEED OPTs) has several components, working on trade facilitation and customs, water and energy, and helping the PA and Israel to abide by their obligations under the Paris Protocol. Work with the Palestinian Authority in the water and energy sectors will be channelled through The World Bank Partnership for Infrastructure Development in the West Bank and Gaza Multi Donor Trust Fund. Through this framework, funds will flow from the trust fund to dedicated accounts that will be managed by the PA in accordance with rules established by the World Bank.
Alongside a range of other safeguards, all components will be subject to financial audits. The terms of reference of the audits will vary depending on the component, however all independent financial audits provide assurance to DFID that the expenditure of funds will only be on agreed programme activities. The overall DFID OPTs portfolio is also subject to the regular audit cycle of DFID’s Internal Audit Department and the National Audit Office.
It is right that the FRC refers any concerns it has relating to the insolvency case to the ICAEW, which is a recognised professional body that regulates insolvency practitioners. In this case, I understand that the ICAEW has considered the issues put forward and is investigating a number of matters. I will happily meet my hon. Friend to discuss this issue again, as I already have. It is right that we investigate any concerns that British businesses have about the regulations.

The Financial Reporting Council identified six areas that warrant further inquiry in PwC’s administration of Premier Motor Auctions, but delegated that inquiry to the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales—a trade body with limited powers. Will the Minister agree to meet me to ensure that this and any other insolvency practitioner issues are properly investigated?

The UK National Contact Point has published its Initial Assessment of the complaint made by a UK NGO. This concluded that the issues raised in the complaint merit further examination. The Initial Assessment is not an indication of any wrongdoing by the respondent. The UK National Contact Point is now working with both parties to facilitate mediation on the issues raised. In line with its procedures, the NCP will not be expected to publish further information on the case until this stage of the process is complete and a Final Statement has been prepared.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the justification under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 for the delay in providing a PwC Report on the comparative costs of developing and constructing high speed rail lines in Europe and elsewhere, requested on 30 November 2017.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the justification under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 for the delay in providing a PwC Report on the comparative costs of developing and constructing high speed rail lines in Europe and elsewhere, requested on 30 November 2017.
The PWC report on the comparative costs of developing and constructing high speed lines in Europe and elsewhere was withheld under section 22 (1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 because it is intended for future publication. In applying this exemption we had to balance complex public interest consideration in withholding or disclosing the report. We found the balance to be in favour of withholding at that time and that remains our position.
I can reaffirm that HS2 Ltd intend to publish this report in the coming months.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the criteria are for assessing the performance of PwC in its delivery of the digital courts reform contract.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the criteria are for assessing the performance of PwC in its delivery of the digital courts reform contract.
Performance against all work package deliverables is monitored daily at an operational level. All outcomes are signed off by the relevant SRO of the program and monthly surveys are done to check behavioural and knowledge transfer activities. There are also formal reviews, which are conducted at monthly contractual management meetings, to assess against all aspects of the contract.

PwC are not the Official Receivers. Information on the role of PwC within Carillion is held by the Insolvency Service who are the contracting authority for this work.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 7 February 2018 to Question 125455, on Courts: ICT, whether access to justice will be used as a criterion to assess the performance of contractors other than PwC for the delivery of digital courts reform contracts.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 7 February 2018 to Question 125455, on Courts: ICT, whether access to justice will be used as a criterion to assess the performance of contractors other than PwC for the delivery of digital courts reform contracts.
Access to justice is not currently used as a criterion to assess the performance of current contracts with suppliers.
It may be used in the future to monitor performance of suppliers, but due to the complexities of measuring the effectiveness of this and what the supplier’s contribution to access to justice would be, the mechanism and methodology would need extensive research and management.
The department does however have enabling contracts in place, which are intended to promote and contribute towards access to justice. One such example of this is a contract with the ‘Good Things Foundation.’ This Service is for the development, testing and implementation of the customer’s future face to face assisted digital service for HMCTS. This will support the ICT access needs of digitally excluded and less digitally able users. This assistance will consist of helping users to complete specified digital processes, such as help with online form completion, online payments, and online submission of evidence and other documentation.
Our in house call agents will also be trained to identify assisted digital callers and will help direct callers into the support channel which best suits the callers’ needs and abilities.

The Department has been working closely with the Cabinet Office and the Official Receiver who manages the relationship with PwC in their role as Special Managers.
Our priority has been to ensure schools can continue to operate as usual. The Government is supporting the Official Receiver, so that services to schools and other public services can continue to be delivered.
Local authorities (LA) and academy trusts are responsible for their own contracts. The Department has been working with LAs and academy trusts to make sure contingency plans are being implemented. Contingency plans vary according to circumstances, including bringing services in-house, sourcing alternative providers or the Official Receiver managing the transfer of Carillion contracts to new owners.
The Department is continuing to monitor developments and will provide support where it is needed to help minimise any disruption.
To ask Her Majesty's Government why they rejected a Freedom of Information request for a copy of the report by PwC on the comparative costs of developing and constructing high speed rail lines in Europe and elsewhere; and why it took two months for that decision to be reached.
To ask Her Majesty's Government why they rejected a Freedom of Information request for a copy of the report by PwC on the comparative costs of developing and constructing high speed rail lines in Europe and elsewhere; and why it took two months for that decision to be reached.
The information requested is being withheld under section 22 (1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 because it is intended for future publication. In applying this exemption we have had to balance the public interest in withholding or disclosing the report. The Department for Transport found the balance to be in favour of withholding at this time.
The request raised complex public interest considerations. As allowable under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the department extended the response time limit by 20 working days in order to assess whether the public interest was in withholding or disclosing the information. The Noble Lord was informed of this extension on 21st December 2017.
