	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2015 answer text <p /> <p>Decisions about the transfer of prisoners to open conditions are for the Secretary of State on the recommendation of the Parole Board. In October 2014, the Parole Board conducted a review of its recommendation that Alan Wilmot be transferred to open conditions. Such reviews are undertaken by the Board when serious further offences are committed by those transferred to open conditions or released on parole. The outcome of these reviews is considered by the Parole Board Management Committee.</p><p> </p><p>Following the commission of serious further offences by Alan Wilmot and by two other prisoners who had been released in 2013 on temporary licence, the government commissioned an independent review by Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Prisons of the decisions to release these three prisoners on temporary licence, as well as a broader review of the system of temporary release to look at how it could be strengthened. Following the recommendations made by the Chief Inspector, the department has overhauled the process for allowing prisoners release on temporary licence, leading to a 39% drop in the number of temporary release failures between 2013 and 2014.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 30/06/2015 14:46:23 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2015 answer text <p /> <p>Sentencing is entirely a matter for our independent courts, which take into account all the facts of each case. The court has discretion to suspend a custodial sentence of two years or less, and it may also impose community requirements on the offender. If the offender breaches the suspended sentence order, either by failing to comply with the requirements or on conviction for a further offence whilst the order is operational, there is a presumption that the custodial sentence will be given effect. If the court decides that it would be unjust to give effect to the custodial sentence it must then either make the order more onerous or impose a fine.</p><p> </p><p>Information on the number of suspended sentence orders imposed by the courts in 2013 and 2014, the latest figures, for each offence type is included in <em>Criminal justice system statistics: December 2014</em> in the Criminal justice statistics outcomes by offence data tool: <a title="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/428943/cjs-outcomes-by-offence-data-tool.xls" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/428943/cjs-outcomes-by-offence-data-tool.xls" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/428943/cjs-outcomes-by-offence-data-tool.xls</a> .The data held cannot be broken down to identify reliably the length of the custodial sentences suspended and breach information.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous grouped question UIN 3579 question first answered 30/06/2015 13:58:41 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
