§ Dr. Godmanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when the review of the length of sentence which incurs eligibility for parole will be completed; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. AncramIn my written reply to the hon. Member's question on 22 March at column550 I said that my right hon. Friend has these matters under active consideration and that he hoped to make an announcement within a reasonably short time. That is still the position. It is not possible to give a precise date when the announcement will be made.
