Labour — Birmingham Ladywood

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 November 2024

Debate

Early Release Scheme

Contribution

It is clear that we have to do better on reducing reoffending, given that 80% of offenders are reoffenders. Cutting reoffending is a strategy for cutting crime, keeping the public safe and helping ex-prisoners to turn their lives around. I am sure that the sentencing review will look carefully at short sentences.
