HL Deb 30 October 1980 vol 414 c709WA
Lord AVEBURY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether "prediction scores" have been worked out for women, on the lines of the calculation for men described in Home Office Research Study No. 38.

Lord BELSTEAD

No. The numbers of women found unsuitable for parole by local review committees are not sufficiently large to require the use of this device. All such cases are referred to the Parole Board.
