Debate
Sentencing Guidelines (Pre-sentence Reports) BillContribution
As I said at the beginning of my speech, I believe everybody is not treated the same, and people outside this Chamber will not understand how so many Members, including so many Ministers, are trying to claim that we are all treated the same. If we want to hold our criminal justice system up to the light—if we want to show people that we as a House are concerned with making sure that the system is fair and is seen to be fair—we should accept the guidelines that have been put forward by the Sentencing Council.
