answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/12/2020 answer text <p>In April we introduced the End of Custody Temporary Release (ECTR) scheme. It allowed for the early release of stringently assessed low-risk prisoners who were within two months of their release date. It freed up space across the estate so that all prisons could effectively control the spread of the virus by quarantining new arrivals, isolating those with symptoms and shielding vulnerable offenders. This was based on advice from Public Health England and was necessary to protect life and avoid thousands of prisoners becoming infected, overwhelming local NHS services.</p><p>The ECTR scheme was paused in August, as it was no longer a necessary part of our overall response. Throughout the pandemic our response has been based on public health advice, and this decision will be kept under constant review over the coming weeks and months.</p> answering member printed Baroness Scott of Bybrook question first answered 02/12/2020 17:44:53 answering member 4553 label Biography information for Baroness Scott of Bybrook

uin	HL1734
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2017 answer text <p>Instructions issued in 2015 require each prison governor to make available to prisoners information on the sort of release on temporary licence (ROTL) opportunities available locally and how prisoners can access them.</p><p>The evidence shows that temporary release from prison can help ensure offenders do not return to crime when they leave prison, and compliance rates stand at well over 99%. We want to maintain improvements made to ROTL recently while allowing governors greater discretion so that prisoners get the skills and training they need.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 17/10/2017 11:56:23 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what consideration they are giving to releasing prisoners who have spent 40 or more years in custody.

uin	HL5737
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2017 answer text <p>Any prisoner who has not been released from a sentence imposed 40 or more years ago will be serving a sentence of life imprisonment. As such, their release is a matter for the independent Parole Board who must be satisfied that their detention is no longer necessary for the protection of the public. There is also a power for the Secretary of State executively to release a prisoner if exceptional circumstances exist which justify release on compassionate grounds. If such a prisoner were to make an application for compassionate release it would be considered on its individual merits.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 13/03/2017 15:08:44 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
