Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 27 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Offender Management Bill.
Offender Management Bill
moved AmendmentNo. 14: 14: Schedule 1, page 29, line 32, leave out ““the trust”” and insert ““a probation trust”” The noble Lord said: My Lords, the amendments in this group are entirely technical and consequential. This reflects the fact that probation boards in Wales are subject to different audit requirements from those in England, and the amendments are designed to carry that forward to trusts. At the moment, local probation boards in England are subject to the Audit Commission Act 1998, whereas those in Wales are subject to the Public Audit (Wales) Act 2004. We need to ensure that the Public Audit (Wales) Act continues to apply to probation trusts in Wales when they replace boards, which is what the amendments achieve. I beg to move.
