Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will review the allocation of new court orders for supervision between the National Probation Service and community rehabilitation companies.

We are currently conducting a comprehensive review of the probation system. The review will consider the allocation of cases between the National Probation Service and Community Rehabilitation Companies but public protection is our top priority. We will not hesitate to take the necessary action to make sure our vital Transforming Rehabilitation reforms are being delivered to reduce reoffending, cut crime and prevent future victims.
