Thanks but no thanks
In a dramatic development AGM successfully overturned the Officers' decision to accept Martin Narey's offer to attend AGM tomorrow and speak about NOMS.
This offer had been made in the absence of a ministerial presence at AGM, all the Home Office Ministers invited having been unavailable.
The mood of Conference had not been improved on seeing a leaked letter from the Home Secretary which effectively seems to suggest that the future of the Probation Service is time limited as a result of legislation which will remove Boards and introduce widespread 'contestability'.
An emergency motion is likely. More news on this will follow.
