Elizabeth Truss
I would be very happy to meet the hon. Lady and her constituent, and I am very sorry to hear about that case.
Alberto Costa (South Leicestershire) (Con)
Colin Pitchfork was convicted of raping and murdering two young girls in the 1980s. Will the Minister please assure me and the public of their safety, given that Mr Pitchfork is being moved to an open prison?
Mr Gyimah
My hon. Friend will be aware that the transfer of prisoners from one prison to another is based on a careful assessment of the risks involved. I am sure that that will have taken place in this case, but I would be happy to discuss the matter with him in more detail if he wants to do so.
