Business question from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 November 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Does the Leader of the House agree that crime is a local problem that should, as far as possible, be tackled locally and that communities lie at the heart of the criminal justice system? If so, will he ask the Home Secretary to come to the House to explain his proposals for the probation service, which deals with 300,000 offenders annually? The Home Secretary is proposing to take control of it before parcelling it out and selling it off to the private and voluntary sectors, with which the probation service has worked successfully for a long time. Next year will be the 100th year of its existence. Should not we allow it to celebrate its successes rather than wave farewell to it?
