Sir Julian Lewis

Conservative — New Forest East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 October 2026

Debate

Prisoner Early Release Scheme

Contribution

If I understood it correctly, the Minister said earlier that past victims—and, therefore, presumably potential future victims—are being informed and supported. If they need that sort of information and support, does that not imply that the people who are being released pose a threat to them? What sort of category of person is being released? Is it a dangerous person? If it is not, why do the victims need the support that the Minister describes?
