Debate
Sentencing Guidelines (Pre-sentence Reports) BillContribution
Speaking for myself, I would have no idea of the dynamics at work within that family. When I see a Bill which suggests that a pre-sentence report, which is desperately needed in a case like that, should omit race, religion and cultural background—the fact the poor girl could not speak English and so on—it seems absolutely disgraceful. I support all the amendments that have been spoken to in this group.
