LONDON (Reuters) – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday that is was time to take action over the early prison release of those convicted of terrorism offences after an Islamist militant attacked people days after he was freed from jail.

“We’re bringing forward legislation to stop the system of automatic early release but the difficulty is … how to apply that retrospectively to the cohort of people who currently qualify,” Johnson said in a speech in London.

“We do think it’s time to take action to ensure that people – irrespective of the law we’re bringing in – people in the current stream do not qualify automatically for early release.”
