A4e probed nine times

A4e probed nine times
The Government's leading welfare-to-work provider at the centre of a criminal investigation was investigated nine times by officials, it has emerged.

The Guardian reports that A4e was forced to repay public funds on five separate occasions after Work and Pensions department investigations discovered "irregularities".

MPs have called on the Government to suspend all contracts with the firm, which holds numerous government employment contracts. Labour MP Margaret Hodge, the chair of the Public Accounts Committee, has tabled a parliamentary question asking if the Department for Work and Pensions would suspend contracts with A4e until the inquiry is completed.

But the Prime Minister's official spokesman said this afternoon that he did not "think it would be right to pre-empt the oucome of [the police investigation]".
