It is with great pleasure that I have been able to table Amendment 91. I have seen the impact that this sentence has had on those serving it, and their families, over many years. This amendment delivers on my ambition to offer a faster and safe route to the end of their sentence. It provides a target for those serving the sentence to aim for. It strikes the right balance between rehabilitation and public protection, and I hope noble Lords will support this carefully considered and constructive step forward. Most importantly, it provides hope to those serving the IPP sentence, and their families, which, as my noble friend Lord Davies of Brixton rightly said, is so important.
