Conservative — Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 March 2025

Debate

Sentencing Council Guidelines

Contribution

Just the other week, the Lord Chancellor made it clear that she does not agree with the direction in which the Sentencing Council is going, and I think we all hope that her meetings with the Sentencing Council will produce results. However, if they do not, will the Minister commit to working across parties? I think there is a real commitment on the Opposition Benches to work with him to bring forward emergency legislation, if that is required.
