Conservative — North West Norfolk

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 May 2025

Debate

Independent Sentencing Review

Contribution

In her statement, the Lord Chancellor said that under her earned progression plans, if offenders follow prison rules they will win earlier release. The review says that thousands of offenders will benefit from that. Can she explain to my constituents why simply following the rules means that serious offenders will serve only a third of their sentence? Where is the punishment and where are victims’ interests in that approach?
