To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners were released from HMP Littlehey in Tranche 1 of the early release scheme.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners were released from HMP Littlehey in Tranche 1 of the early release scheme.
The Ministry of Justice routinely publishes Accredited Official Statistics on prisoner releases as part of the Offender Management Statistics Quarterly (OMSQ) publication. The requested information forms a subset of the data underpinning total release statistics intended for future publication and, therefore, cannot be disclosed.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners identified for early release will be released from HMP Littlehey in the Huntingdon constituency.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners identified for early release will be released from HMP Littlehey in the Huntingdon constituency.
The Government recently announced further offence-based exclusions from the Sentence Act 2026 progression model, including offences relating to unlawful killing and indecent assault, building on the previously announced exclusions for rape, serious child sexual offences and grooming offences. This means fewer offenders will be eligible for release under the progression model.
Current published estimates do not identify releases from individual prisons, including HMP Littlehey. We have, however published the best available modelled estimates of the volumes of all offenders estimated to be released on the first day of each tranche. This information is now available at: Sentencing Act 2026 offence exclusions - GOV.UK

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners have been released in error from HMP Littlehey since 5 July 2024.
Releases in error have been increasing for several years and are another symptom of the prison system crisis inherited by this Government. On 11 November, the Deputy Prime Minister announced a five-point action plan setting out initial steps to address this issue.
Totals for releases in error, including a breakdown by releasing prison (or Prisoner Escort Custody Services), are published each July in the HMPPS Annual Digest, available via HMPPS Annual Digest, April 2024 to March 2025 - GOV.UK, and provide data up to March 2025.
Breakdowns of the number of people who have been released in error since April 2025 cannot be provided because it would form a subset of releases in error data which underpins future versions of these Official Statistics.
The Government is determined to fix the issue of mistaken releases and ensure the public is properly protected.

We have committed over £4billion towards the delivery of 18,000 additional prison places by the mid-2020s to have fit for purpose accommodation for prisoners, including older prisoners and those with disabilities. We are considering potential options to replace the capacity lost at HMP Littlehey, which we expect to be single occupancy cells.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps she is taking to improve resettlement activity at HM Prison Littlehey.
We are committed to helping offenders turn their lives around and to reducing reoffending. We know that providing advice and support to prisoners before release can help them settle back into the community on release and reduce the likelihood of their committing further crimes. At HMP Littlehey prisoners’ resettlement needs are identified and they have access to help finding suitable accommodation on release, setting up a bank account and finding employment.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what progress her Department has made on implementing the reintegration planning recommendations outlined in the report on an unannounced inspection of HM Prison Littlehey of March 2015.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what progress her Department has made on implementing the reintegration planning recommendations outlined in the report on an unannounced inspection of HM Prison Littlehey of March 2015.
HMP Littlehey has made good progress on implementing the recommendations set out in the unannounced report published in July 2015. Offender managers and supervisors assess pre-release needs and as part of a local initiative, two staff from the local CRC (BeNCH) support the referral to resettlement services. The policy response for managing the over 55 year old population has been reviewed. A range of sex offender treatment programmes as well as a Thinking Skills programme to assist with addressing the risks presented by this cohort of prisoners have been commissioned.
The National Career Service (NCS) provides improved prisoner skills assessment and employment options on reception as well as group work sessions. Discharge clinics are provided by Healthcare to ensure forward planning of prisoner health and wellbeing on release.
My Lords, the Minister has not answered the question posed by my noble friend Lord Thomas about why this country has the most punitive policy towards the incarceration of prisoners in the democratic European context. Will he reflect on what it is about this country that causes our prison population...

My Lords, in the context of the item in the Statement that speaks of savings—cuts might be a more expressive word—that the probation service will be required to make, is it not the case that probation officers spend only 25 per cent of their time on front-line work with offenders,...

My Lords, I am grateful to the noble and learned Lord, as always. One of the explanations for this seeming paradox, as I said earlier, is that sentence lengths for most offence groups have increased. Some would say that for some offences that is not a bad thing. I seem...

My Lords, I welcome the announcement that Titans are no more, although I cannot say that I am particularly happy about the announcement of prisons that will house 1,500 inmates. That is another unit that has been consistently proved to be far too large. The Minister reminded us that it...
