The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what his planned timetable is for Release on Temporary Licence pilot scheme to be completed.

Answered by Jake Richards

As set out in the Government’s IPP Action Plan (2025/26), we are progressing work to expand opportunities for IPP sentence progression, including piloting Release on Temporary Licence in Progression Regime Prisons. This work is ongoing, and further details on implementation will be set out in due course.
