Mr Jones added: &#8216;If someone has been in jail for 30 years and the Secretary of State vetoes their release, it is inevitably going to go to legal challenge to test whether the minister&#8217;s decision is legal and valid\u2026 that is going to cost thousands of pounds in taxpayers&#8217; money.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He said the veto would face legal challenge not just under the European Convention on Human Rights but also under British common law.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/02\/14\/00\/67651993-11747261-image-a-9_1676333666938.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mr Jones has been chief executive of the Parole Board since 2015, overseeing the organisation during its controversial decision to release black cab rapist John Worboys in 2018.
