The Civil Legal Aid (Procedure) Regulations set out that once a legal aid certificate is granted, subsequent applications for either a new form of civil legal services or for new proceedings to be added to a certificate, and for which a new determination is being sought, will require further evidence to be provided.<\/p>
<\/p>
This Government is absolutely clear that victims of domestic violence should get legal aid where it is needed to help break free from the abusive relationship. Since the reforms were introduced last year thousands of people have successfully applied for legal aid where domestic violence is involved.<\/p>
<\/p>
The 24 month time limit for evidence does not exclude victims where the abuse occurred over two years ago. The time limit relates to the date the evidence was obtained, not the date of the abuse itself. Some forms of evidence can be obtained several months or even years after the abuse has been experienced.<\/p>"}

This Government is absolutely clear that victims of domestic violence should get legal aid where it is needed to help break free from the abusive relationship. We want to ensure the reform works in practice, and have listened carefully to any concerns raised in meetings with legal practitioners, women\u2019s groups and professional organisations with a role in providing the evidence required. As a direct result of these conversations we have twice made changes so it is easier to get the evidence needed to prove domestic violence and so claim legal aid.<\/p>"}

The indeterminate sentence of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) was abolished in late 2012, but not retrospectively. It is for the independent Parole Board to determine whether a prisoner serving an IPP should be released once he has completed the minimum custodial period set by the Court for the purposes of retribution and deterrence \u2013 commonly known as the \u201ctariff\u201d. Under the statutory release test, the Parole Board may direct the release of an IPP prisoner only if it is satisfied that it is no longer necessary on the grounds of public protection for the prisoner to be detained in custody. It is right that IPP prisoners should remain in custody until it is safe for them to be released.<\/p>
<\/p>
Some short tariff IPPs who were sentenced prior to the 2008 changes are achieving release, where they engage with opportunities provided to them to reduce their risk. As the table below shows, a total of 594 of these prisoners remain in custody as at the end of September 2014. This compares to 650 at the end of March 2014.<\/p>
<\/p>
The first table shows the number of IPP prisoners whose tariff length was less than 2 years and who were sentenced prior to 14 July 2008, by offence, as at 30 September 2014.<\/p>
