Proceeding contribution from Gerry Sutcliffe (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Offender Management Bill.


Offender Management Bill

As my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary pointed out, there is a different legal structure in Scotland and the Scottish Executive see this issue in a different way. They do not see it as we do in our proposals. The Bill is not new. NOMS has been in existence since 2004, and the regional offender managers are in place and working hard in conjunction with local communities, making sure that we are establishing the framework we need to deliver services. Many people said that the Bill is totally opposed by everybody, but that is not true. Today, hon. Members will have received a briefing from Turning Point. My right hon. Friend the Home Secretary talked about the Prince’s Trust and we have heard about Rainer, NACRO and a number of other organisations.
