The prime minister says he had 'no choice' but to implement a scheme that saw more than 1,700 offenders let out early to ease overcrowding.

The prime minister said the government had been 'forced' to let some offenders out early because prisons across England and Wales had become 'so full' that police had been unable to make arrests.
'You can imagine the impact on law and order in this country if we've reached a place where the police could not make the necessary arrests day by day,' he said. 'And you'd be having some pretty hard questions for me if it got to that stage.
