answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2020 answer text <p>All terrorist offenders released on probation are closely managed by the National Probation Service and HMPPS.</p><p>Months before a terrorist offender is released, preparations for their management begin through the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) process. This is led by HMPPS and Police, with input from other partners as required. This process ensures that a set of robust and appropriate licence conditions are drawn up for each offender. These restrictive licence conditions can include: living in approved premises; restrictions on movement and stringent curfews. Failure to adhere to conditions results in enforcement action, and could result in recall to prison.</p><p>For those subject to a Parole Hearing we will make sure all necessary evidence is made available to the Board and we will make representations in any case where we feel the decision is lacking.</p><p>Since the attack in Streatham, we have begun a further set of urgent assurance checks of all terrorists on licence to ensure their risk management arrangements remain appropriate following the incident. These reviews are to be led jointly with CT police colleagues.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 10/02/2020 17:41:38 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
