Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many offenders convicted of child rape or other serious sexual offences against children have been released early under Government early-release schemes since their introduction; how many of these offenders were (a) resident in, or (2) released to the Maidenhead constituency; and what risk-assessment procedures were applied before their release.

Data on SDS40 is published transparently and can be broken down by prison rather than constituency or offence (partly because many offenders have more than one offence). Table 8 provides data on SDS40 releases by prison: Standard Determinate Sentence (SDS40) release data: October 2024 to December 2025 - GOV.UK

SDS40 included an eight‑week implementation period which gave HMPPS and partners across the criminal justice system time to undertake release planning, prepare operational processes and work collaboratively to support the safe implementation of the measure.
