Prisoners' Release
Asked by: Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat - North Cornwall) Tuesday 18th November 2025 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners have been wrongly released from HM Prisons since July 2024 were still at large on 1 November 2025. Answered by Jake Richards - Assistant Whip As the Deputy Prime Minister set out in his statement on 11 November, on that day we were aware of three releases in error from prison where the offenders were at large. We were also investigating a further case of a potential release in error on 3 November of a person who may have still been at large. Lord Timpson in his statement on 13 November confirmed that the potential case was indeed a release in error and the individual was swiftly returned to policy custody on the same day and returned to prison the following morning and that one of the three releases in error has now been classified as a lawful release. These are operational matters; the position changes quickly. We will not offer further running commentary on Releases in Error; further breakdowns will be published in the normal way through our regular statistics and Dame Lynne Owens will be looking at data and transparency as part of her independent investigation. |

Reoffenders: Continuing Care
Asked by: Paul Davies (Labour - Colne Valley) Monday 10th November 2025 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on improving continuity of care for repeat offenders as they move between prison and the community. Answered by Jake Richards - Assistant Whip We recognise that the first few weeks after release for prison leavers are high-risk for relapse, overdose and reoffending, and we are determined to ensure prison leavers have a smooth transition into the community, with swift access to care and treatment to address this. Lord Timpson, the Minister of State for Prisons, Probation and Reducing Reoffending continues to engage with Baroness Merron and Minister Dalton, Minister for Public Health and Prevention in the Department for Health and Social Care, to discuss issues related to offender health and care and drive progress forward. The Drug and Alcohol Recovery Expert Panel (DAREP), chaired by Lord Timpson, was established to identify key areas for improvement in our current approach to tackling problematic drug and alcohol use in the criminal justice system in England and Wales, including consideration of continuity of care and resettlement. Minister Dalton is part of DAREP’s core membership. Working closely with health partners, we have recruited over 50 Health and Justice Partnership Coordinators. These staff operate nationwide to strengthen links between prison, probation and treatment providers. NHS England’s RECONNECT service also supports prison leavers with vulnerabilities to engage with the right health services in the community through referrals and peer support. We are also improving information sharing between treatment providers and probation and enabling virtual pre-release appointments with community treatment providers via secure laptops. |

No Department None 3. Papers to note <p>Yes, may I just put on record my concerns around the letter from Lord Timpson—I think it's page 91 in your pack—in terms of what the offer is to us for data for the Welsh prison system. There are no timescales in his proposals apart from on one, which is 2026, so I'd like us to consider a response that asks for specific timescales to his offer of data. Diolch yn fawr iawn.</p> |
