Prisoners' Release: Homicide
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether she has had discussions with her Northern Irish counterpart on the release from prison of convicted murderers.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
The Lord Chancellor has not yet had discussions with Ministers in the Northern Ireland Executive, however Ministers wish to meet counterparts soon. Officials regularly discuss a broad range of release policy issues through meetings such as the 5 Nations Forum which convenes quarterly.
