CUMBRIA PROBATION SERVICE

Early day motion 1409, tabled 18 January 2006 by Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 4 members.

That this House calls upon the Government to retain the Cumbria Probation Service and not to pursue the merger of the service with those in other counties along the same lines as the proposed police authorities restructuring; and supports the Cumbria Probation Board's stated belief that probation services should remain focussed and managed at local level.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 2, Conservative 1, Labour 1.
