Proceeding contribution from Lord Garnier (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Offender Management Bill.

Offender Management Bill

That is to elide a huge amount of concern within the LGA. It does not support the principles. For example, it is concerned about the lack of local government representation on probation boards. That is why the Liberal Democrats have tabled amendment No. 18. The LGA is not convinced that this top-down model is the way forward. Indeed, it is hardly surprising that people who have been elected to serve on local authorities would far rather see themselves, as the most local representatives of their area, having the input into the probation trusts’ decisions than the Home Secretary, through his agents.
