I am grateful to all noble Lords for their thoughts and engagement, particularly on the importance of probation capacity. Noble Lords know that I believe that the work of our hard-working probation practitioners has been underappreciated for too long. I am committed to rebuilding the Probation Service, and Our Future Probation Service programme aims to deliver measures to rebalance demand and capacity by April 2027. In addition to the assurance embedded within the programme, I am personally overseeing progress through regular meetings with senior officials to monitor progress and will update noble Lords on that progress. I beg to move.
