In my modest amendments, I am trying to relate to group seven, from Amendment 110A onwards, and what we are doing for prisoners generally with a 56-day fixed period on recall, as we are not doing it for IPP and DPP prisoners. As the noble Lord, Lord Moylan, said, we should be dealing with DPP once and for all. It is a scar on me that under-18s ended up being caught up in this. Given the number involved, we can surely deal with it once and for all, for them and to have some continuity. If it is good enough for prisoners who are not on IPP or DPP to have a fixed period of recall, what is the difference for those who find themselves caught up in this spider’s web? I ask my noble friend on the Front Bench to consider that between now and Report.
