To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many offenders (a) began and (b) were released from an indeterminate sentence for public protection in the last month. (220797)

During May 2008 120 prisoners were received into prison establishments in England and Wales having been sentenced to an Indeterminate Sentence for Public Protection; over the same period three IPP prisoners were released.
