Proceeding contribution from Lord Northbourne (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 May 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Offender Management Bill.


Offender Management Bill

I am most grateful for that. Of course I am not being grumpy about it; I just wanted to make my point. Does the Minister accept—I think that she has—that the reduction of reoffending includes the causes of the reduction of reoffending? Does she further accept that the reduction of reoffending includes the reduction of offending? That is not such a small question as it sounds, because we are talking about what the Probation Service is being asked to do. My question is: is the Probation Service entitled—empowered—as a means of reducing reoffending to tackle issues about initial offending?
