Proceeding contribution from David Drew (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 am sorry that I was not present earlier. My main worry is accountability. Like the hon. Gentleman, I represent a county area. We have a county police force—it was subject to reorganisation, however—and county courts, which are also being reorganised. It is not at all clear whether the form that the probation service will take—whatever that might be—will in any way fit with the Court Service and the wider probation services. In other words, there will be no accountability, which is an additional reason why the culture will be wrong.
