Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 January 2026

Debate

Sentencing Bill

Contribution

We will implement changes that provide hope and finality, where it is safe to do so, but we must resist changes that would intolerably increase risk to victims or the wider public. Alongside legislative reform, I continue to turbocharge the IPP action plan. The Prison Reform Trust recently welcomed the progress that has been made under the IPP action plan, while rightly emphasising that there is still more to be done.
