HL Deb 21 June 2000 vol 614 c24WA
Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Where copies of temporary licences issued to life sentence prisoners are kept; and whether, following unsuccessful application by a prisoner whose reference is B29411 to the Parole Board and the Lifer Unit of Her Majesty's Prison Service for a copy of a temporary licence which he is said to have breached, they will now produce a copy of this document to him. [HL2819]

Lord Bassam of Brighton

Copies of all temporary licences issued to life sentence prisoners are kept on file at the prisons where they are issued. A copy is also given to the prisoner for each period of release. The prisoner referred to in the Question has been given a further copy of the relevant temporary release licence.
