Sir Nicholas Dakin
Victims absolutely need to be kept informed, and we continue to work with victims’ groups and the Victims’ Commissioner to ensure that they are.
Laurence Turner (Birmingham Northfield) (Lab)
In separate cases, two families in my constituency lost loved ones when they were murdered by offenders who were out on remand but should never have been. Will the Minister meet me and, if they wish, both families, so that they can have some assurance that lessons have been learned from these cases, and so that other families are not placed in the same horrendous situation?
Sir Nicholas Dakin
I am very sorry to hear about the cases mentioned by my hon. Friend. I am happy to meet him to take the matter further.
