  The majority of MPs voted not to require an independently evaluated pilot scheme, with the results laid before Parliament, before restructuring the probation service nationally.  
  
  MPs were considering the Offender Rehabilitation Bill[1]. The text of the proposed new clause which was rejected in this vote was:
  
  :The Secretary of State may not undertake a national restructure of the provision of probation services until the proposals have first been subject to an independently evaluated pilot scheme, and the results of that evaluation laid before both Houses of Parliament.
