They were abolished in 2012 by the Coalition Government. IPP prisoners will be released whe the Parole Board is satisfied that they can be safely managed in the community. It is a priority for us to help remaining IPP prisoners progress towards release, including by ensuring that their parole reviews take place on time, through greater efficiency in the parole process, and by giving them the opportunity to complete relevant interventions and work. In 2015 there were 512 IPP releases - the highest number of annual releases since the sentence became available.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 06/06/2016 11:04:15 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
