Offender Management Bill

My Lords, I am grateful to all those who have spoken, particularly to the noble Baroness, Lady Anelay, for indicating so clearly that she had no intention to divide the House and that hers was a probing amendment. I am pleased that I have been able to give her the reassurance she seeks, but I agree with my noble friend Lord Warner that it is important that we retain for the voluntary sector, and for those others who wish to help us deliver something better, an opportunity to do so. We will be able to do that regionally, locally and nationally. I beg to move.
