HC Deb 19 October 1993 vol 230 c217W
Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he proposes to announce the conclusions of the review on community sentences.

Mr. Maclean

This review, originally expected to be concluded at the end of 1994—beginning of 1995, has been expedited for completion by summer 1994. In the meantime, further guidance will be issued to the probation service as and when conclusions are reached on significant matters which need not await full formal publication of the revised standards themselves.
