Motion Text

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.
