Community Justice Centre: North Liverpool

Baroness Scotland of Asthal Excerpts

Wednesday 30th November 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord McNally]

I would hope that it is the kind of more holistic inquiry that my noble friend suggests. That is what we are trying to do, obviously within budgetary constraints. We are examining various ideas and experiments in the United Kingdom, the United States and around the world, to see how best practice and best efficiency can be achieved. That is what we hope will be the outcome of this inquiry and future development of policy.

[Baroness Scotland of Asthal]

My Lords, I wonder whether the noble Lord will be able to tell us whether the learning from the North Liverpool Community Justice Centre that was spread to places like Salford has been and is going to be continued.
