Conservative — Broxbourne

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 March 2025

Debate

Sentencing Council Guidelines

Contribution

My constituents are confused about the Justice Secretary’s position. She says she believes that these sentencing guidelines are wrong in principle, and that they amount to differential treatment before the law, but she is in government; she has the power and the tools at her disposal to stop this and change it. Why has she not done so?
