uin	206714
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>A life sentence is mandatory on conviction for murder. Under a life sentence, the court determines the minimum period to be served in prison for the purposes of punishment and deterrence. Once that period has been served it is for the Parole Board to determine if and when the offender may be released from prison on life licence and subject to recall for the rest of their life. Public protection is the priority and the Board will take into account a range of factors when assessing whether an offender’s risk is reduced sufficiently for him or her to be released.</p><p> </p><p>In order to provide data relating to released life sentenced offenders in each year since 2004 would involve manually examining prisoner records.</p><p>Reliable centrally held electronic information on life sentenced prisoners released from custody is only available from 2011 onwards. Prior to this date the required individual record information was only kept in paper files for offender management purposes. It would therefore be at a disproportionate cost to search through these files to identify those prisoners sentenced for murder who were released after serving a minimum period of imprisonment imposed by the courts prior to 2011.</p><p> </p><p>The latest available information on the number of released life sentenced offenders is publicly available under “Offender Management” at the following website address:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-january-to-march-2014" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-january-to-march-2014</a></p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 04/09/2014 10:18:41 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2014 answer text <p>Recent allegations of torture and mistreatment in Egyptian prisons are deeply worrying. A recent Amnesty International report suggests that up to 400 civilians are being held without charge at the Azouli prison, with no access to their lawyers or families.</p><p>The European Union made a statement at the 26th Human Rights Council regarding the treatment of prisoners in Egypt. The statement expressed concern at the continued detention of thousands of Egyptian citizens, many of whom were detained on unclear grounds, and the conditions under which they are detained.</p><p>Representatives of the British Embassy in Cairo raised the issue of Azouli prison with the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 24 June. The UK Government condemns the use of torture in all circumstances and strongly urges the Egyptian authorities to ensure that all human and legal rights of all detainees are upheld.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Hugh Robertson question first answered 26/06/2014 07:55:43 answering member 1415 label Biography information for Sir Hugh Robertson
