Shabana Mahmood

Labour — Birmingham Ladywood

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 April 2025

Debate

Sentencing Council Guidelines

Contribution

No. I have very positive conversations with the Lady Chief Justice. She has an important constitutional function and obligations, as do I. Our conversations are collaborative and constructive. On that matter, the Government made their view clear that the exchange at Prime Minister’s questions turned on a question of policy, which is the proper realm of politicians and ultimately Parliament.
