Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate he has made of the potential cost to the public purse of probation Community Integration Teams in each of the last five years.
A Community Integration Team has been in place in each of the 12 probation regions in England and Wales since June 2021, when probation was restructured into a unified service. The staff costs for community integration teams for the two years: 26 June 21- 31 March 22 and 2022-23 was £6.8 million and £13.0 million respectively.
