House of Lords
01:42 - 01:44
Speaker 2
First oral question, Lord Moylan.
01:44 - 01:49
Speaker 1
My Lords, I beg leave to ask the question standing in my name on the order paper.
01:49 - 02:27
Speaker 3
My Lords, the Deputy Prime Minister recognizes the impact that IPP and DPP sentences have on the families of those serving those sentences. My noble friend Lord Timpson meets regularly with families as part of his ministerial responsibilities for these issues, and he values the insight that those discussions provide. The engagement he's had ensures that the voices and experiences of families are heard. The government remains committed to ongoing dialogue, recognizing how this informs the action that we take to support progression and rehabilitation.
02:27 - 03:12
Speaker 1
My Lords, there are nearly a thousand IPP prisoners who've never been released, all of them now way beyond their tariff. And there are another 1500 or so in the community, subject to frequent and capricious recall. What can I say to the mother of the prisoner whose name I supplied to the noble lady the minister in advance, who has been recalled again recently despite being in employment and having a supportive employer? And if the Deputy Prime Minister feels unwilling perhaps to meet the families of the prisoners, would he be willing at least to meet a delegation of noble Lords to come and talk to him about this continuing scandal?
