00:00I've heard the depth of concern felt across the country about the potential release of the killers of PC Andrew
00:08Harper.
00:09And obviously I feel for the family and the anguish that they're going through.
00:16What I have done since I came into office is push the system every single day to go further.
00:23I've not accepted it's impossible to do more.
00:27I believe there is more that can be done.
00:28So today I have asked the Justice Secretary to present a plan in early September to Parliament to go further
00:38so that we do not have to release as many people early.
00:43And that plan will include issues like returning more foreign national offenders to their country of origin and looking at
00:52the injustice of IPP sentences,
00:55which have led to young people, or young when they were imprisoned, being imprisoned indeterminately, and that clearly is unfair.
