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 remind the noble Lord, Lord Warner, that the Explanatory Notes set out the framework for what is proposed here. In paragraph 4, they say: "““This Bill will transfer to the Secretary of State the statutory duty to make arrangements to provide probation services, so enabling him to commission from providers””." Paragraph 9 says: "““They give to the Secretary of State the responsibility to ensure the provision of probation services and enable him to contract with others””." In other words, it invites the inclusion in the Bill of the detail on how the Secretary of State will do that.
