Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people serving sentences of Imprisonment for Public Protection recalled to prison in (a) 2021 and (b) 2022 after being charged with a new offence were (i) convicted, (ii) acquitted and (iii) had the charge dropped.

The data required to provide an answer about those offenders serving an IPP sentence in the community who were recalled in connection with having been charged with a further offence and who were subsequently (i) convicted, (ii) acquitted and (iii) had the charge dropped, could be provided only at disproportionate cost, as central data is not stored in a way that it can be filtered by the required fields.
