Part 1: Probation Services

Section 6: Power to make grants for probation purposes

49.This section enables the Secretary of State to make payments (other than under the contractual or other arrangements referred to in section 3) to a trust or any other person for probation purposes (as defined in section 1). It is envisaged that contractual or other arrangements will be the main source of probation funding but this section allows for situations where this may not be appropriate.
