Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 July 2025

Debate

Imprisonment for Public Protection (Re-sentencing) Bill [HL]

Contribution

I will say a word or two about the amendments, because they all seem to me to be different ways of putting substantially the same point of principle. On Amendment 1, on the expert advisory committee, it is not clear to me what the Lord Chancellor’s duty would be if “may” is interposed into Clause 1. It seems to me that the issues go together. If there is going to be a committee, it should be about how the resentencing is done.
