§ Mr. Kilroy-Silkasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proportion of notices of successful parole applications give less than a month's warning of release; and what proportion give less than six weeks.

Unless there are special factors, prisoners are released as soon as possible after a decision has been taken to grant parole and the necessary arrangements for residence and for supervision in the community have been made.
