Sentencing BillContribution
Lords amendment 7, on court transcripts of sentencing remarks, was proposed and supported by the Opposition in the other place. It would require sentencing remarks delivered in the Crown court to be made available within 14 days of a request, free of charge, subject to judicial approval and existing reporting restrictions, and published online. As I have mentioned, that was a Conservative amendment.
