Proceeding contribution from Elliot Morley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 April 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Humberside Probation Service.
Humberside Probation Service
I absolutely agree with my hon. Friend. He has a long and distinguished connection with Humberside police as a former chairman, as well as connections with Humberside probation service, which adds weight to his comments on this issue. It is essential that we have an efficient service, but I agree with him: I do not believe that what is happening is what the Ministry of Justice intended or that the formula funding that has been put in place was in any way intended to have the impact that it has had. In particular, I do not believe that it was intended to bring about compulsory redundancies in front-line services. I think that I am right in saying that Ministers from the Ministry of Justice have said a number of times that they do not wish to see impacts on front-line services weakening the efficiency of the service.
