00:00Well, the Prime Minister will be looking at that. I know it's a matter of urgency. We know it's an
00:03important issue for people across the country, so he'll be making those decisions. He, of course, acted really quickly to
00:08make sure that people who were involved in grooming gangs were not part of the early release scheme, but because
00:13of some historic sentences, then some have, I understand, been able to be eligible. So he's looking at that, and
00:20I expect a response very quickly.
