Parole Board
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many individuals were released on licence where the parole board decision was not unanimous in the 2005-06 financial year.
- Answer
-
Currently, any decision by a majority of the members of a parole board panel is legally the decision of the panel as a whole. No statistics are kept by the board as to whether decisions are taken unanimously or by a majority. The Government believe that the interests of public protection now demand that all such decisions should be taken unanimously and will bring forward legislation to this effect when parliamentary time allows.
