Neil Trennan is an extremely violent rapist who was serving two life sentences.

Yet he was let out on unsupervised day release when he absconded and attacked a young student.

There are serious questions for David Lammy - yet his department has responded dishonestly. 🧵

Trennan is behind bars again.

But so serious was this case that the Judge said he would send his sentencing remarks to David Lammy.

Lammy’s spokesman claims: “We have not yet received the judge’s sentencing remarks.”

But they are published here: judiciary.uk/judgments/r-v-…

We need to know:

What steps Lammy has taken to investigate the decision to transfer Mr Trennan to open conditions?

Who authorised the decision to transfer him to an open prison and let him out unsupervised - and on what basis?

What changes will Lammy make to ensure this cannot happen again?

Why the Judge said he would send the sentencing remarks to the MOJ but Lammy claims not to have received them?

Why the MOJ has claimed ignorance of the case when the sentencing remarks are online?
