PROBATION BUDGET CUTS
Early day motion 470, tabled 4 December 2007 by Neil Gerrard (Labour). Signed by 79 members.
That this House believes that the Probation Service in England and Wales must be properly funded in order to carry out its statutory duties; believes that the cuts scheduled for the next three financial years will result in a loss of staff and a deterioration in the quality of services; and therefore urges the Government to review these budget proposals.
