Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 27 March 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Early Removal of Fixed-Term Prisoners (Amendment of Eligibility Period) Order 2008.


Early Removal of Fixed-Term Prisoners (Amendment of Eligibility Period) Order 2008

My Lords, I do not ask the Minister to give these figures now, because I am sure that he does not have them to hand. Since Ms Homer mentioned before the Select Committee the particular difficulties arising in respect of four countries which apparently do not accept their nationals or the documentation provided, it would be useful to know how many of the prisoners that would otherwise be eligible for the ERS are stopped from taking advantage of it because they belong to one of those countries.
