Proceeding contribution from Neil Gerrard (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 February 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Offender Management.
Offender Management
I am sure that the majority of people agree with my right hon. Friend’s comments about the need for stronger partnerships with a range of providers. However, some of us have serious concerns about contestability. Yesterday, I received a reply to a written parliamentary question in which I asked about responses to the consultation on restructuring probation. It appears that there were 748 responses but nobody could tell me how many were in favour of contestability. I suspect that the answer is a small number. I urge my right hon. Friend to reconsider the matter. It would be much easier to make a success of the positive agenda that he presented if we carried probation staff with us rather than having a fight with them over privatisation.
