The Incredible Pat Waterman and Alan Bennett

The Incredible Pat Waterman Probation Officer.

The Incredible Alan Bennett, Yorkshire born Playwright.

Alan Bennett the Yorkshire born playwright, says in his published 2013 diary:

"Walking along Wellington Street towards City Square I pass the offices of the probation service, now plastered with protest leaflets and posters from Napo against the selling off of the service, protests that in my view are wholly justified. The notion that probation, which is intended to help and support those who have fallen foul of the law, should make a profit for shareholders seems beyond satire".
