Written Answers
Prisoners' Release: Reoffenders
Asked by: Mike Martin (Liberal Democrat - Tunbridge Wells)
Monday 13th April 2026

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the automatic release of Standard Determinate Recall prisoners under the Sentencing Act 2026 on public protection; and if he will publish the (a) criteria used to determine exemptions from automatic release and (b) number of prisoners expected to be released in each tranche between 31 March and 12 May 2026; and what safeguards are in place to manage cases involving people assessed as presenting a high risk of serious harm.

Answered by Jake Richards - Assistant Whip

An Impact Assessment, published on 1 September 2025, set out the expected effects of the automatic release following the implementation of the recall provisions in the Sentencing Act 2026, including their implications for public protection. Eligible offenders will be released from prisons across England and Wales; the precise number of offenders released via each tranche will be known once individual cases are processed. Details of changes to the recall population are published regularly in Offender Management Statistics.

Public protection remains paramount. We have gone further than the Independent Sentencing Review recommended by excluding offenders assessed as posing a greater risk, including those managed at the higher levels of Multi‑Agency Public Protection Arrangements. Furthermore, over 17,000 prisoners are serving sentences that will not be affected by these reforms: this includes those serving Extended Determinate Sentences, along with Life and Imprisonment for Public Protection sentences.

Additionally, the Secretary of State can convert a fixed‑term recall to a standard recall in exceptional circumstances, where an offender is assessed as presenting a high risk of serious harm at the end of their recall period, according to the specific criteria outlined in the legislation.

Defence: Reform
Asked by: Mike Martin (Liberal Democrat - Tunbridge Wells)
Thursday 16th April 2026

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has had regarding the implementation of defence reform with (i) PricewaterhouseCoopers and (ii) other consulting firms since 4 July 2024.

Answered by Luke Pollard - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

Since 4 July 2024, the Department has engaged with consulting firms and their subcontractors that hold contracts supporting the implementation of the Defence Reform Programme. Information on these contracts is published and available through the Contract Finder service on GOV.UK.

Railway Stations: Tonbridge
Asked by: Mike Martin (Liberal Democrat - Tunbridge Wells)
Monday 27th April 2026

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much funding has been made available to South Eastern Railway to undertake outline designs to improve car park provision at Paddock Wood station.

Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

I can confirm that there has been no funding from the Department to Southeastern to improve car park provision at Paddock Wood train station. The Rail Minister has asked the Managing Director of South Eastern Railway to contact the MP about this matter.

Voice over Internet Protocol: Care Homes
Asked by: Mike Martin (Liberal Democrat - Tunbridge Wells)
Tuesday 26th May 2026

Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment her Department has made of the potential financial impact on residents of privately-managed leasehold retirement housing of the requirement to upgrade communal telecare alarm systems to digital infrastructure ahead of the Public Switched Telephone Network switch-off on 31 January 2027; and what steps the Government is taking to ensure those costs do not fall solely on elderly residents on fixed or low incomes.

Answered by Kanishka Narayan - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)

Switching a landline from the analogue Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to digital Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) should not increase costs for the end customer.

However, independent businesses, including privately managed retirement housing who require telecare systems, remain responsible for ensuring the equipment is digitally compatible and fit for purpose for their residents. The PSTN migration was announced in 2017 to give businesses and residents time to upgrade as part of the normal maintenance and product replacement cycle. The Pre-Digital Phone Line is a transitional product that can, where needed, provide an extension in many cases for analogue devices until 2030, including for customers who cannot yet migrate to VoIP.
