question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to review the cases of those still subject to the "two strikes” sentence imposed under the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 or the “automatic life" sentence introduced in 2012; and whether there is scope to align their licence conditions with those imposed through the Victims and Prisoners Act 2024 on prisoners serving an indeterminate sentence for public protection.

uin	HL68
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2024 answer text <p>Section 2 of the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997 (the 1997 Act) introduced a mandatory life sentence for a second serious offence, meaning judges had to impose a life sentence on anyone convicted of a second specified serious offence, unless there were exceptional circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>Although the ‘two-strike’ life sentence and the IPP sentence can be imposed for similar specified offences, unlike the IPP sentence, the ‘two-strike’ life sentence is a life sentence, and offenders will therefore be subject to licence conditions for life if they are released by the Parole Board. The recent changes to the IPP licence, which can be terminated pursuant to section 31A of the 1997 Act, would therefore not align with this life licence.</p><p> </p><p>We will be launching a review of the sentencing framework. The details of this review will be announced in due course.</p> answering member printed Lord Timpson question first answered 29/07/2024 10:03:46 answering member 5364 label Biography information for Lord Timpson

tabling member printed	Lord Patten
uin	HL68
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2014 answer text <p>The total number of unlawful incursions into British Gibraltar Territorial Waters (BGTW), from 2010 onwards, are as follows:</p><p>2010 – 103<br>2011 – 24<br>2012 – 229<br>2013 – 496<br>Jan-May 2014 – 185</p><p>During this period, the Spanish Ambassador has been summoned three times on incursions related matters – 15 November 2012, 19 November 2013 and 2 April 2014. The British Government cannot readily provide statistics for incursions into BGTW by Spanish State vessels before 2010. This could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost. The Government upholds British sovereignty over BGTW by challenging and protesting unlawful incursions. We will continue to make representations to the Spanish government at the highest level, making clear the damage they cause to our bilateral relationship.</p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 17/06/2014 14:52:58 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi
