Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 April 2025

Debate

Sentencing Council Guidelines

Contribution

I know there will be disagreement in this House with regard to the correct policy to pursue. There have been, as I have noted, differences of opinion among the Opposition. I expect that the shadow Secretary of State for Justice, the right honourable Member for Newark, Robert Jenrick, who opposes these guidelines, and the now shadow Transport Secretary, the honourable Member for Orpington, Gareth Bacon, who welcomed them while in office, have been having some robust conversations in recent days.
