Some offenders serving this type of sentence may be eligible to be considered for release on home detention curfew (HDC) before their automatic release date, but those convicted of causing death by dangerous driving are presumed unsuitable for HDC and can only be considered in exceptional circumstances.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 25/02/2015 16:40:50 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
