Chamber Actual start House of Lords
37:52 - 38:01
Speaker 1
First oral question, Lord Garnier. My Lords, I beg leave to ask the question standing in my name on the order paper.
38:01 - 38:29
Speaker 2
My Lords, the Lord Chancellor has announced that we will bring forward legislation to end the IPP sentence once and for all by the end of this Parliament. In the meantime, HMPPS has strengthened safeguards around recall decisions and improved quality assurance, streamlined recall processes, and expanded the use of risk-assessed recall review to support swifter re-releases where it is safer to do so.
38:29 - 39:07
Speaker 1
My Lords, it was interesting to hear what the noble Lord the Minister had to say. Earlier this year, the noble and learned Lord, Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd and I studied about 80 sets of IPP recall papers provided to us by the noble Lord, Lord Timpson. Many of the decisions were poorly reasoned or plainly irrational and had nothing to do with public safety.
Will the noble Lord the Minister agree that recall should not be used lazily and defensively and only when it is in the interests of justice?
