Written question asked by David Simpson (Democratic Unionist Party) on Tuesday, 6 December 2005, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 8 December 2005. It was answered by Paul Goggins (Labour) on Monday, 26 June 2006 on behalf of the Northern Ireland Office.


Sean Kelly

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he received new security information directly relating to Sean Kelly subsequent to his re-arrest prior to his order to re-release Kelly.
Answer

The Secretary of State's decision to grant Sean Kelly temporary release from prison on 27 July 2005 was based on the material from which he based his original decision and because he believed that the IRA statement the next day, would create a new situation in which the context of Kelly's license suspension decision had changed and no longer supported the conclusion that Kelly would be a danger to others if at liberty.
