To ask Her Majesty’s Government why Peter Chester, prisoner A9675AA, who is detained in HM Prison Full Sutton, is still waiting for the oral hearing for his parole review which was due in December 2016; and why an urgent dental appointment for him was delayed by two months.

Mr Chester has an ongoing parole review. The listing of oral hearings is a matter for the independent Parole Board and the Secretary of State has no powers to intervene.
The delay to Mr Chester’s urgent dental appointment was the result of an administrative error and an appointment has since been scheduled.
