Labour — Birmingham Ladywood

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 May 2025

Debate

Independent Sentencing Review

Contribution

What puts the whole country at risk, including current, future and potential victims of crime, is letting our prison system collapse, and I will never let that happen. The measures we are taking forward from the review today are designed to make sure that this country never runs out of prison places ever again. I will ensure that there is ample time for debate and discussion across this House as we bring our legislation forward.
