Debate
Sentencing Guidelines (Pre-sentence Reports) BillContribution
will be deemed unlawful? Will the Government explain why they wish to make it unlawful for the Sentencing Council to produce guidance to require a pre-sentence report for a defendant with a physical or mental disability? Why are the Government willing to accept that the Court of Appeal can provide guidance on when a pre-sentence report is needed by reference to personal characteristics but not willing to accept the Sentencing Council doing the same thing?
