Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Offender Management Bill.

Offender Management Bill

I am most grateful to the hon. Gentleman; he is coming to the most important part of his speech. Does not he agree that the business about the voluntary sector is the merest fig leaf? It gives ambitious young Back Benchers who want to read out briefing notes scope to talk endlessly about the voluntary sector, but never mention the private sector. Yet it is private sector involvement that gives most of us cause for concern about the Bill.
