Sentencing Guidelines (Pre-sentence Reports) BillContribution
As we know, a single mother facing custody for the first time will not just have a very tough time in custody; her children will have a very tough time, too. I have seen, from some of the comments emerging under embargo and otherwise from the Gauke review, that the Government, and certainly David Gauke, are concerned about this, so let us not throw a spanner in the works of the positive Gauke review before it has even been born, if I may put it like that.
