Asked by: Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede (Labour - Life peer)
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask His Majesty's Government, regarding provisions in the Victims and Prisoners Bill for a ministerial veto and subsequent appeal to the Upper Tribunal for 'top tier' parole decisions, how they intend to implement these new stages of the parole process whilst complying with the legal duty under Article 5 ECHR to determine parole decisions ‘speedily’.
Answered by Lord Bellamy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice)
The Victims and Prisoners Bill has not yet reached Report stage in the House of Commons, meaning it is not in the final form in which it will be introduced to the House of Lords. I look forward to debating this Bill with the Noble Lord and others shortly once it has reached the House of Lords in the form approved by the House of Commons.
