	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2023 answer text <p>On 16 October 2023, the Lord Chancellor announced he would be looking at options to curtail the licence period to restore greater proportionality to IPP sentences in line with recommendation 8 of the report by the Justice Select Committee (JSC), published on 28 September 2022.</p><p>These changes are being taken forward in the Victims and Prisoners Bill. The measures will make it quicker and easier to terminate an IPP licence (and therefore the IPP sentence as a whole) whilst balancing public protection considerations.</p><p>The new measure will:</p><ol><li>Reduce the qualifying period which triggers the duty of the Secretary of State to refer an IPP licence to the Parole Board for termination from ten years to three years;</li><li>Include a clear statutory presumption that the IPP licence will be terminated by the Parole Board at the end of the three-year qualifying period;</li><li>Introduce a provision that will automatically terminate the IPP licence two years after the three-year qualifying period, in cases where the Parole Board has not terminated the licence; and</li><li>Introduce a power to amend the qualifying period by Statutory Instrument.</li></ol><p> </p><p>The Lord Chancellor was persuaded by the Committee’s recommendation to reduce the qualifying licence period from 10 years to 5 years and is going further: reducing the period to 3 years. These amendments will restore greater proportionality to IPP sentences and provide a clear pathway to a definitive end to the licence and, therefore, the sentence.</p><p>In addition to these changes, the actions this Government are taking are working; the number of prisoners serving the IPP sentence who have never been released now stands at 1,269 as of September 2023, down from more than 6000 in 2012.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table 1: The tariff-expired Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) prisoner population at least 10 years over tariff, 30 September 2023.</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Time over tariff</p></td><td><p>Count</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>From 10 years to less than 11 years</p></td><td><p>132</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>From 11 years to less than 12 years</p></td><td><p>117</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>From 12 years to less than 13 years</p></td><td><p>128</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>From 13 years to less than 14 years</p></td><td><p>128</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>From 14 years to less than 15 years</p></td><td><p>94</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>From 15 years to less than 16 years</p></td><td><p>62</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>From 16 years to less than 17 years</p></td><td><p>21</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>From 17 years to less than 18 years</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>From 18 years to less than 19 years</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total</p></td><td><p>684</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Please note:</p><p>(1) The figures in these tables have been drawn from administrative IT systems which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.</p> answering member printed Lord Bellamy question first answered 04/12/2023 13:28:08 answering member 4941 label Biography information for Lord Bellamy
