Accountability · outcome beside Green Book evidence
Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 became law. The official papers we read covered some Green Book cases well and left gaps in others. For accountability, the outcome sits beside a mixed evidence trail — worth reading the case notes below.

Economic: Gap — The papers we read for this bill do not give a figure in pounds for what it would cost or save. That is not a yes or no on the bill.
Commercial: Extension of period for which young offender contract has effect Enforcement of sentences 38. Individual support orders Parenting contracts and parenting orders 125.
Financial: Gap — The papers we read for this bill do not say who would pay for it, or where the money would come from.
Management: Issue of warrant transferring responsibility for detention and release of an offender to or from the relevant Minister 95. Supply of information to Secretary of State etc.
This is an accountability reading, not a recommendation and not a score. It does not say whether Parliament should have passed or rejected the bill. It only sets the actual parliamentary outcome beside how complete the Green Book five-case evidence was in the official papers.
These UK Acts sit in a similar policy space and are already law. Pairing uses this proposal’s official papers (and the plain-English note themes). It is not a verdict that the proposal is redundant or unnecessary.
