Debate
Sentencing Guidelines (Pre-sentence Reports) BillContribution
As I said on Second Reading, by its handling of this issue, the Sentencing Council has brought on itself both this legislation and, probably, a wider discussion about its future. However, we are not having that discussion today; we are discussing legislation that is intended to allow the Sentencing Council to continue to operate and to fulfil what I believe is an important task.
