Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential risks to pets from ingesting antifreeze products.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The RSPCA and Cats Protection offer advice on how to keep pets safe from accidental poisoning and what to do if someone suspects their pet may have been poisoned.

The intentional poisoning of a protected animal is a criminal offence under the Animal Welfare Act 2006. The Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Act 2021 increased the maximum sentence to five years imprisonment and/or unlimited fine for animal cruelty offences, including administering a poison to animal.

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many offenders released on licence at the 40% point of their sentence were convicted of (a) one and (b) more than one breach of restraining orders.

Answered by Nicholas Dakin - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury

The Government inherited a crisis in our criminal justice system, with prisons on the point of collapse. As a result, we were forced to take the difficult but necessary step to move certain release points for prisoners serving eligible standard determinate sentences (SDSs) from 50% to 40%.

Public protection is our priority, so we have important exclusions from this change, notably certain serious violent, sexual, national security and domestic abuse connected offences. These exclusions included the Breach of Restraining Order (BoRO) offence under Section 363 of the Sentencing Act 2020 passed by the previous Government.

It became clear that a repealed piece of legislation was being incorrectly used in a small number of cases. This created an anomaly, which meant 37 offenders were released under a repealed offence. These 37 offenders have now been returned to custody.

Data on SDS40 releases forms a subset of data intended for future publication.

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, for what reason each prisoner who was released under the revised terms of the early release scheme and had previously breached a restraining order was released.

Answered by Nicholas Dakin - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury

Certain offences are excluded from the SDS40 change. Exclusions included the Breach of Restraining Order (BoRO) offence under Section 363 of the Sentencing Act 2020.This offence replaced an older offence in Section 5 of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, which was repealed on the commencement of the Sentencing Act 2020 on 1 December 2020. At that point the new Sentencing Act offence should have been used.

However, our assurance work uncovered that since December 2020, offenders have been charged and sentenced under this repealed offence. This means the 1997 Act was being used incorrectly and this created an anomaly.

We took rapid action, and all 37 offenders have been returned to prison. Every victim affected and currently in the Victim Contact Scheme or Victim Notification scheme has been contacted.

All prisoners in custody with this offence recorded against them have been reviewed to ensure there are no further releases in error.
