It is not a question. In fairness to Ms McDonald, she does not need to be an expert on the Parole Bill, but there is a provision in the Bill that allows victims and their interests to be considered by the Parole Board. Obviously, victims do not have a veto but I would not like Ms McDonald to think that victims are absent from the Bill. This is not the case.
