Proceeding contribution from Nick Hurd (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Offender Management Bill.
Offender Management Bill
The Home Secretary has set the yardstick for judging the success of the Bill: a drop in the stubborn and wholly unacceptable reoffending rate. The Government’s case is that increasing competition will achieve just that, but given that probation boards already subcontract, in effect, 2 to 3 per cent. of their budgets to the private and voluntary sector, what hard evidence is there from that outsourcing to support the Government’s case?
