Scotland: tariff setting

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

In May 2001 the Scottish Parliament passed the Convention Rights (Compliance) (Scotland) Act 2001 to bring Scots law into line with the European Convention on Human Rights. One positive result of this has been that from 8 October, politicians lost the authority to intervene on public interest grounds with parole board decisions. Parole boards in Scotland have sole responsibility for determining whether life sentence prisoners should be released.

Our work is only possible with your support.
