Richard Harrington MP, Watford voted to support the Government's probation service reforms.
The majority of MPs voted to support the Government's probation service reforms.
MPs were debating an opposition motion calling for the Government's probation service reforms to be suspended.
The majority of MPs approved an amendment to the motion which replaced it with the following:
- That this House:
- applauds the work already carried out by probation trusts and other agencies to turn offenders away from crime; and
- welcomes the Government’s proposals to build on that work to further reduce re-offending by extending support after release to offenders given short custodial sentences, introducing an unprecedented nationwide through-the-prison-gate resettlement service so that offenders are given continuous support by one provider from custody into the community, harnessing the skills and experience of trained professionals and the innovation and versatility of voluntary and private sector providers to support the rehabilitation of low and medium risk offenders and creating a new National Probation Service that will work to protect the public and will directly manage those offenders who pose a high risk of serious harm to the public.”
