Sentencing BillContribution
I therefore do not believe that further legislation is required. Our focus is on strengthening delivery and transparency. Instead, I commit on the record that, before the Summer Recess, I will write to the noble Lord, in partnership with my counterpart in the Department of Health and Social Care, Minister Dalton, on the joint progress that we have made in this area. I will also write to the stakeholders and experts that the noble Lord is working with to update them on the progress that the noble Lord has made in ensuring the Government take this issue forward urgently, as well as to reaffirm our commitment and approach. For the reasons I have outlined, I encourage the noble Lord to withdraw his amendment.
