Mr. Clapham: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if the British Embassy in Portugal has been informed
why Professor Lowry remains in prison in that country despite having served more than half of his original sentence; and what
indication there is of when he will be released. [146849]
Mr. Hain: The prison social welfare authorities will automatically begin to prepare a further application for Professor Lowry's
release in February 2001 when he has served two thirds of his sentence. Conditional release in Portugal is granted at the discretion
of the parole judge and becomes automatic only when five sixths of the sentence has been served.

Paddy Ashdown: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many notifiable offences were committed in Avon and
Somerset within the last two years by people released from prison under early release schemes; and if he will make a statement.
[144643]
Mr. Boateng: There are two statutory early release schemes:
Parole: prisoners serving a sentence of four years or more are entitled to be considered for discretionary conditional release on
parole licence at the halfway point of their sentence. Those who are refused parole are released automatically at the two thirds
point of their sentence on non-parole licence. Information about prisoners who are released on parole licence and who commit a
further offence during the currency of that licence is not currently held centrally.
Home Detention Curfew: most prisoners serving a sentence of less than four years and more than three months are eligible to be
considered for the home detention curfew scheme, which commences up to 60 days before the halfway point of the sentence. Information
about prisoners who are subject to the scheme, who have been released to an address in either Avon or Somerset and who have
committed an offence during the currency of the scheme is not immediately available. The Prison Service has made further inquiries
of the electronic monitoring contractors for the South West of England and I will write to the right hon. Member with this
information as soon as it is available. A copy will be placed in the Library.
Early release schemes are designed to ensure a better transition between custody and the community. Prisoners are only placed on the
schemes after a careful risk assessment, in which the overriding concern is the safety of the public.
