|---|---|---|
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “Give me an example of where something might theoretically be set aside.” | 12 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “Which hearing?” | 2 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “That is helpful. Thank you. I understand the appeal process for prisoners. Are victims not part of that? You are saying the Secretary of State and the prisoner, but that no other party can intervene in any way in initiating an appeal process?” | 43 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “May I take you on to another aspect? How did you manage the BBC programme? Bearing in mind the constraints on holding these hearings in public, how was it possible to film and broadcast them for the television series?” | 39 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “From 1 April this year, victims have been able to apply to observe a private Parole Board hearing. What support is put in place for the victims?” | 27 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “It is retraumatising.” | 3 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “In the pilot, 40% of applications to observe the private hearing were refused. Can you just run through why? I think we have covered part of that.” | 27 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “Sorry, but could you just explain that to me?” | 9 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “Late?” | 1 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “Can I just test you? You say that you get applications that are out of time. How does that happen? Surely there is a process involved. Did that many people make a late decision?” | 34 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “It would be nice to see that set out a bit more tidily.” | 13 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “I think that might be quite interesting, if you do not mind. Just to test you again, you said something about the prisoner not being able to give his or her best evidence in front of the victim. Really? Who decides that?” | 42 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “It is, and suppose my sense is—this is not about me, but about the whole Committee—that hearing the victim is really important. The prisoner should hear the victim; even if the prisoner has heard the victim three or four times, so be it, because it is real to the victim. We have managed to somehow deal with the fact th…” | 85 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “It would be very interesting to know what the figures were on that as well, as I think that is sliding in the wrong way. It must be right that the victim is considered. I will not go on too much longer, but I wanted to ask a question about the Parole Board’s ability to meet the additional cost of victim attendance. Wil…” | 78 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “The transparency review recommended that the Parole Board decision summaries are replaced by redacted, fully reasoned decisions, as “circumstances have changed and a different approach is now required.” Do you accept that this change in approach has to come about?” | 40 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “Is that just the recent SDS—the 40% ones?” | 8 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “I am Tessa Munt, the Member for Wells and Mendip Hills in Somerset. Everything is on the register, but I will just point out that I am a vice-chair of the APPG on penal affairs and of WhistleblowersUK, which is a non-profit organisation.” | 43 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “The role of the Parole Board might be misunderstood by the public. If possible, could you please outline that role and explain the typical process for a Parole Board review, from the initial referral to a final decision?” | 38 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “Yes, it would be interesting from the public’s point of view. They would want to understand the key factors that you consider in your process.” | 25 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1074) “I would like to better understand the process for making recommendations to the Secretary of State for a move to open conditions.” | 22 |
