Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many individuals will be released under the end of custody supervised license scheme in 2024.
While ECSL is in operation, it will continue to free up spaces as more prisoners reach the point in their sentence when they become eligible for release, but only where that continues to be necessary to remain within maximum capacity levels.
An analysis of its use will be based on one year’s worth of data and published on an annual basis in line with other statistics.
