Written Questions can be tabled by MPs and Lords to request specific information information on the work, policy and activities of a Government Department
7th Feb 2025
To ask His Majesty's Government how many people serving Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentences who were recalled in each of the past five years were recalled less than (1) one, (2) two, (3) three, (4) six, (5) 12, (6) 24, (7) 36, and (8) 48, months after release; and what percentage of IPP prisoners this represents in each case.

This information is not readily available at this time.

To answer the question, a manual check would be required of every instance of an offender serving an IPP sentence on licence being recalled to custody in the last 5 years, where data has been published (approximately 3,100).

This could be completed only at disproportionate cost.

Lord Timpson
Minister of State (Ministry of Justice)
