00:00Thank you. You're calling for a block on the early release of offenders today, but would you be, would you
00:05consider Rwanda-style scheme for foreign offenders?
00:08Would you be willing to talk to third countries to free up prison space and see these criminals leave the
00:13country?
00:14Yes, I would. We need to deport all foreign criminals. Too much of our prison space is taken by people
00:21who shouldn't even be in this country in the first place.
00:24So that's definitely something that we should, we should do. And I'm particularly worried about what we're seeing with this
00:31early release scheme.
00:32I have heard from grooming gang survivors who say that their abusers are coming out without having served their full
00:39sentences.
00:40What message are they sending? Basically, that you can commit these crimes and get away with it.
