Sentencing Guidelines (Pre-sentence Reports) BillContribution
Amendment 16 in the name of the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Gloucester is intended to allow sentencing guidelines to continue to advise sentencers to seek pre-sentence reports in cases involving pregnant or post-natal women. I am pleased that Dr Shona Minson was mentioned as a leading expert in this field. Fortunately, she is a member of the Women’s Justice Board that I chair.
