Nacro comments on proposals to split Home Office

Paul Cavadino, Chief Executive of Nacro, the crime reduction charity,
commented as follows on proposals to split the Home Office into two
departments:

"There could be advantages in creating a separate justice ministry. A
Ministry of Justice could concentrate on reducing crime and running an
effective penal system without being diverted by constant crises in security and immigration policy.

"There would also be an advantage in having two separate departmental budgets. For example, if the Government suddenly decided to switch more resources into the immigration detention system, this would no longer put other parts of the Home Office budget at immediate risk."

ENDS
