Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 January 2026

Debate

Sentencing Bill

Contribution

We agree with the earned release concept that the Bill incorporates. The Government have moved towards our position on rewarding good behaviour in prison, introducing what I call carrot as well as stick. These are important reforms, and, for these principled reasons, we will be opposing this amendment.
