'[...] the so called Framework Agreement between the MOJ and ALS/Capita has been a disaster from the start and continues to undermine the fair and impartial delivery of justice in the United Kingdom'
'It is my opinion that this contract was pushed through because the MOJ had no appreciation of the levels of skill and training necessary to do court interpreting work properly'
During the period 30 January to 31 August 2012, 1.5% of the total successful face to face interpreter bookings for foreign languages were filled by other agencies through the Capita contract for language services
The MOJ and the minister, Helen Grant MP, seem oblivious to the warnings they have long been receiving from those of us in the interpreting profession who take our responsibilities seriously and who, unlike them, know something about the work
