I entirely share my hon. Friend's view, and we are hoping to get more pilots under way in the new year, as soon as we have got our green paper out and drawn up the framework contracts that we shall have to enter into with providers. The country is full of people with extremely good ideas on how to improve rehabilitation and reduce reoffending, and we must ensure that we have a proper means of engaging with people in the voluntary and independent sectors and in private sector companies-in any combination of those that people wish-to try to produce the result that my hon. Friend and I, and all our constituents, would like to see.

Green Paper

A Green Paper is a tentative report of British government proposals without any commitment to action. Green papers may result in the production of a white paper.
