NATIONAL OFFENDER MANAGEMENT SERVICE

Early day motion 1119A2, tabled 25 May 2004 by Graham Allen (Labour). Signed by 2 members.

Line 6, at end add 'calls upon the Home Office to bring before the House for consideration only policies which have been widely consulted upon with all those affected and then subjected to online pre-legislative scrutiny by Parliament, so that legislating in haste does not have to be followed by further corrective legislation, adjustment and guidance in order to make often good intentions into workable frontline practice; regrets the retreat of probation services from the localities and neighbourhoods of our constituencies and believes that this is one of the real service delivery problems for beleaguered communities that any reform of rehabilitation services should address before yet more top-down restructuring.'

Signatures by party: Labour 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
