Proceeding contribution from Lord Ramsbotham (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Offender Management Bill.
Offender Management Bill
I have added my name to the amendment. Subsection (1)(b) states that minimum targets shall not be set for the amount of probation provision by the private and voluntary sectors. I am concerned that that could conflict with the two terms the noble Baroness referred to—““quality”” and ““value for money””. The Minister has been saying that it is important that we have the best. It follows that it does not matter where the best comes from, and we should not bind ourselves with targets that might interfere with that very important decision.
