FUNDING FOR THE NATIONAL PROBATION SERVICE

Early day motion 1907, tabled 27 March 2006 by Sharon Hodgson (Labour). Signed by 47 members.

That this House sees the privatisation of the National Probation Service in England and Wales as a fundamental misjudgement of the nature of its work; believes that it is likely to reduce the effectiveness of the service at the cost of communities; and further believes that instead the Government should ensure the service is properly funded in its current form.
