Probation Cuts EDM tabled

MPs of all parties have put down an Early Day Motion on the Probation Budget Cuts. It is EDM 470

"That this House believes that the Probation Service in England and Wales must be properly funded in order to carry out its statutory duties, believes that the cuts scheduled for the next three financial years will result in a loss of staff and a deterioration in the quality of services, and urges Her Majesty’s Government to review these budget proposals.”

The purpose of the EDM is to give MPs a focus and to give the Government the opportunity to revisit its decision on the cuts.

Action

If you ARE attending the rally, please ask your MP to sign EDM 470 when you meet with them.

If you are not going to the rally you are urged to write to your MP asking them to sign.
