question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are the criteria approved by Ministers for use by the Parole Board when considering whether to authorise the release of prisoners serving indeterminate sentences.
tabling member printed	Lord Trefgarne
uin	HL768
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2016 answer text <p>Ministers do not set criteria for use by the independent Parole Board when considering the release of indeterminate sentence prisoners. They must serve the minimum term, or tariff, set by the sentencing court after which they may be considered for release by the Parole Board. The Board is required to apply the statutory test for release contained in section 28 of the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997. The Board must assess the level of risk to the public – using reports and assessments from prison, probation and other professionals involved in the management of the offender – and will only direct release if they conclude that the prisoner could safely be managed on licence in the community.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 30/06/2016 11:39:19 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks
