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

Offender Management Bill

I take my hon. Friend’s point. In my area, the Sussex probation area, the probation service works with 19 different voluntary and statutory providers on managing offenders. Those organisations range from the YMCA to Working Links to locally based organisations. If there is a problem with probation boards in other parts of the country, would the Government not be better advised to deal with those particular problems, rather than with the service as a whole, as the Bill does?
