Bill Report Stage Today

The Offender Management Bill has its first debate at Report Stage in the Lords today. It will be discussed again on Tuesday and Thursday of next week (3rd and 5th July).

A number of further amendments have been tabled for Report Stage by supportive Peers of all Parties and Cross Benchers and Napo has prepared a briefing on the key ones. This can be downloaded below.

A list of current amendments for discussion can be accessed on Hansard - click here.

Napo Briefings for Offender Management Bill Third Reading
Part I and Part II - Amendments

More Government defeats are anticipated and we will post the Hansard transcript of today's debate as soon as it is available tomorrow.

The Bill is scheduled to have its Third Reading in the Lords on 16th July. It will be imperative for Napo members to lobby their local MPs, particularly supportive Labour MPs, from early July in anticipation of the Bill's return to the Commons, which will be 19th July at the earliers.

Fuller details will be sent to members via branches once we know the position with regard to amendments.
