Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will publish the evidence used in his assessment of the equality impact of his legislative proposals to create a system of recall adjudicators to review the detention of recalled determinate sentenced offenders.

The Ministry of Justice has considered the equality impact of the recall adjudicator provisions, in accordance with the Equality Act 2010. There is no requirement to publish the evidence that was considered.

I should like to reassure the honourable Member that implementation of the new system of recall adjudicators will be subject to ongoing equality considerations as details of new model are developed.
