<p>I refer the Hon. Member to the written statement the Secrtary of State made to
the House on 18 February. Our central priority is of course to protect the public,
ensuring that we have the right supervision of offenders in place, and that probation
staff are supported in their important work.</p><p> </p><p>You will be aware that
Working Links (Employment) Limited and its three Community Rehabilitation Companies
(CRC): Wales CRC; Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire CRC; and Dorset,
Devon and Cornwall CRC went into administration on 14 February 2019.</p><p> </p><p>In
order to maintain service continuity, we transferred the services previously provided
by the Working Links’ CRCs to Kent, Surrey and Sussex CRC (owned by Seetec) on 15
February 2019. Provision is in place to ensure that all former Working Links CRC staff
will be paid as normal this month.</p><p> </p>
