Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by James Gray (Conservative). It was answered by Jack Straw (Labour) on Tuesday, 28 October 2008 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
End of Custody Licence Scheme
- Question
- What recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the operation of the end of custody licence scheme.
- Answer
-
The end of custody licence scheme was necessary when it was introduced, but, as I made clear to the House, I intend to phase it out as soon as there is sufficient prison capacity to do so. So far this year, about 2,500 additional places have been provided ahead of target.
