00:00Well let me just say how angry and frustrated I am that these mistakes have

00:05been made in releasing people. They're intolerable and they shouldn't be made.

00:09A lot of it comes from the burden and the strain on the system because of the

00:13failures of the last government but I recognize it's our job to step up and to

00:17fix this and we will. We're put in place an independent inquiry into these

00:21releases to find out what's going wrong. David Lammy, the Justice Secretary, has

00:27convened the Governors to talk to them about what more can be done but we must

00:32put the systems in place to ensure that this doesn't happen again and we will.
