Conservative — Spelthorne

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 March 2025

Debate

Sentencing Council Guidelines

Contribution

The Minister says that the situation is completely clear, so I feel like a bit of an idiot for asking for more clarification, but I will anyway. Pre-sentencing reports are allowed to take in further background on the lives of offenders from an “ethnic minority, cultural minority, and/or faith minority community”. What is the definition of a cultural minority, and are our veterans considered a cultural minority?
