Proceeding contribution from Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Offender Management Bill.

Offender Management Bill

My Lords, I was being as kind to the Government as I could be in citing statistics, because we could play them all night. The Minister’s noble friend Lord Filkin made a point and she put the best gloss on it. I looked at the research, which showed that the Government tried to tick off their own boxes on the targets they met. We agree that under this Government, reoffending grew alarmingly at the beginning, which in some respects is being addressed. However, a lot more needs to be done, but not by this Bill.
