Of course, there is some truth in that. The last Government, and specifically the last Justice Secretary, Alex Chalk, deserve genuine credit for sweating blood—as I heard it described recently—behind the scenes to secure the modest gains we saw through this Act. But however clear, and potentially shorter, the pathway is now for those on licence, they are still serving the discredited and long-abolished sentence. The only way to end this torture is with resentencing, turning their indeterminate, never-ending sentence into a standard, determinate sentence.
