Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many cases are still unallocated to either the National Probation Service or to a community rehabilitation company in (a) the North West, (b) Cheshire and (c) Warrington.

All cases live on 1 June have been allocated to either the NPS or CRCs. Cases were transferred during the process of transitioning to new probation structures. The National Probation Service (NPS) is responsible for the assessment and allocation of all probation cases. The NPS either retains ownership of the case itself or allocates appropriate medium and low risk cases to a Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC).
