Conservative — New Forest East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 November 2025

Debate

Prisoner Releases in Error

Contribution

May I try to make a constructive suggestion to the Deputy Prime Minister? Has he considered that when somebody is due for release, they should be read a short statement saying that if they think they are being wrongly released, they should say so now, and if they do not do so, a further penalty of some sort will be imposed? Might not that act as a bit of a deterrent, as well as a check?
