Justice not for Sale - Email your MP now

The PCS is asking all PCS members, whether they work in criminal enforcement and fixed penalties or not to email their MP as soon as possible asking them to oppose privatisation and come to the Parliamentary briefing on 22 January.  The letter to MPs has been updated so that it can be sent from any member of the union and not just enforcement members. Please email your MP now by using the following link:

All of us are potentially at risk from privatisation as we know the aim is to sell off 'similar' work if they get away with privatising criminal enforcement and fixed penalties. This means all members have a role to play in helping to defeat privatisation.

The campaign to stop the privatisation of MoJ's enforcement services is reaching a critical stage as the Crime and Courts Bill reaches the House of Commons this month.

In the House of Lords there was some success with the introduction of an independent appeals system for people who have complaints about private bailiffs. However, the bill still allows for the work we do and our jobs to be handed over to private companies.


PCS is stepping up the pressure of our parliamentary campaigning and holding a briefing for all MPs on Tuesday 22 January at 2 pm. We will be telling them why they should vote against the privatisation.

MoJ are under considerable pressure on the issue of privatisation. MoJ procurement has been severely criticised over the court interpreters
contract and the electronic monitoring contract awarded to Serco who made record profits and ripped off the tax payer. Now is the time to step up the pressure.

Please take a moment to email your MP today to make sure they're kept informed and help us win support for our amendments to the Bill aimed at taking our clauses enabling privatisation.
