Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 December 2025

Debate

Sentencing Bill

Contribution

Two of the final amendments in the group, Amendments 153 and 154, both from the noble Lord, Lord Marks, raise another important point: the ripple effects of sentencing policy on rehabilitation. Conditions such as driving prohibitions or restriction-zone requirements may be appropriate in many cases, but they must be introduced with a clear understanding of how they will interact with an offender’s ability to access employment, education or treatment.
