However, if such an incidence occurs, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has strategies in place to ensure immediate and proportionate action is taken, including a thorough investigation and withdrawal of the medicines from circulation.</p><p> </p><p>The majority of illegal activity involving medicines takes place online and MHRA efforts to tackle this are focussed both on the supply and demand. The MHRA has arrangements in place with Border Force to seize illegally imported medicines on entry into the UK and works with the Internet service industry to close websites operating outside of legal requirements.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 03/12/2018 14:17:36 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

uin	194631
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2018 answer text <p>In most cases a standard determinate sentence will be imposed by the court and such offenders will serve the first half of their sentence in prison and the second half in the community on licence. Under the Offender Rehabilitation Act 2014 we extended supervision on licence to approximately 40,000 offenders each year who are released from short custodial sentences who did not previously receive statutory support from probation after release. Providing supervision and support to this group of offenders – which includes some of the most prolific individuals, who are often leading chaotic lives – is the right thing to do if we are to reduce reoffending.</p><p> </p><p>In cases where an offender has been convicted of a sexual or violence offence, the court may impose an indeterminate sentence or, where an offender is considered “dangerous”, an extended determinate sentence. Indeterminate sentenced prisoners are released on licence at the discretion of the Parole Board, whilst some extended sentenced prisoners may also be released at the Board’s discretion. The Parole Board may only direct the release of an offender if satisfied they do not pose a risk to the safety of the public.</p><p> </p><p>Offenders on licence must comply with a strict set of conditions. If any offender breaches their licence conditions, they are liable to be recalled immediately to prison. However, the aim is always to support offenders to complete their licence successfully.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 30/11/2018 16:05:38 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer previous answer version 88312 answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
