Diolch. On 21 August, I attended the stakeholder engagement event in Wrexham, held by HM Prison and Probation Service in Wales to discuss future probation services in Wales and the proposals contained in the recently published 'Strengthening probation, building confidence' consultation paper. We heard that:

'In Wales, the proposals consulted on are that, from 2020 all offender management services will sit within the National Probation Service—and that HM Prison and Probation Service in Wales will explore options for the commissioning of rehabilitative services, such as interventions and community payback.'
