Conservative — Weald of Kent

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 January 2025

Debate

Prolific Offenders

Contribution

The Lord Chancellor rightly says that less than 10% of criminals account for nearly half of crime. I understand that a sentencing review is under way, but any decisions are for Ministers to make. Will the right hon. Lady please rule out here and now any possibility of allowing career criminals to avoid prison, even for short sentences?
