	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The Hallett Review drew attention to issues regarding record-keeping about the RPM, which the Northern Ireland Office is addressing. The Hallett Review did not deal with the exercise of the RPM prior to 1997 but only touches upon it in passing. During the pre-1998 period the use of RPM was relatively common: it was not recorded centrally and records are likely to have been destroyed in accordance with proper protocols. Where the RPM was used prior to 1997 to remit (i.e. shorten) the sentences of individuals who had already been convicted of offences, their release from custody can, on occasion, provide some evidence of the exercise of the RPM. In addition, there may in some cases, be contemporaneous correspondence which provides evidence of the exercise of the RPM.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chipping Barnet answering member printed Mrs Theresa Villiers question first answered 10/09/2014 14:56:21 answering member 1500 label Biography information for Theresa Villiers
