	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/04/2021 answer text <p>Transferring those prisoners still serving IPP sentences on to other types of sentence would raise issues of public protection, as it would result in the automatic release of a large number of prisoners who have been assessed by the Parole Board to be unsafe for release. For example, for those who had passed their tariff expiry date, this would result in their immediate automatic early release with no supervision in the community on licence.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 13/04/2021 16:13:22 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2021 answer text <p>The Government keeps the operation of sentences of imprisonment for public protection (IPP) under constant review. This includes continuing to ensure that IPP prisoners, as well as all prisoners serving indeterminate sentences, have every opportunity to progress towards safe release.</p><p> </p><p>HM Prison and Probation Service are focused on reducing the risk and thereby the successful rehabilitation of IPP prisoners via an action plan which is being taken forward jointly with the Parole Board. This approach is working, with high numbers of unreleased IPP prisoners achieving a release decision each year. All IPP prisoners will have their continued detention reviewed by the independent Parole Board at least once every two years.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 22/03/2021 17:47:01 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

	uin	115517
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2020 answer text <p>As the abolition of the IPP sentence was not applied retrospectively, those who had already been sentenced to and were serving an IPP sentence continued to serve the sentence itself either because they had not yet served the minimum term of imprisonment or, where they have served the minimum term, because the independent Parole Board had determined that their risk remained too high for them to be safely managed in the community. Therefore, no offender who received an IPP sentence has had the sentence transmuted into a determinate sentence.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 19/11/2020 16:27:54 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
