To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what response he has made to HM Inspectorate of Probation’s Transforming Rehabilitation, Early Implementation 5 report, published in May 2016.

Andrew Selous

We are confident our reforms to probation services are being successfully implemented but are not complacent and are working to improve the issues identified in this report. The National Offender Management Service have developed an action plan and we are addressing the Chief Inspector’s recommendations.

We continue to closely monitor and robustly manage providers to make sure they fulfil their contractual commitments to maintain service delivery, reduce reoffending, protect the public and provide value for money to the taxpayer and will continue to support probation staff to deliver these important changes.
