Offenders: Work
Question
Asked by Lord Dubs
To ask Her Majesty's Government what measures will be put in place to measure the finances of (a) a Probation Trust, and (b) a private company, in the provision of unpaid work undertaken by offenders in England and Wales.[HL9878]
The Minister of State, Ministry of Justice (Lord McNally): All bids will be subject to rigorous scrutiny to ensure the financial viability of the bid.
Comment: I don't agree with the idea of a private company putting in a bid to profit from the labour of offenders undertaking unpaid work as part of a punishment!
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
