Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 December 2025

Debate

Sentencing Bill

Contribution

These amendments also address some of the concerns senior policing leaders and probation officials have raised about the knock-on impact of the Bill on resources within their crucial services by breaking the cycle of recall and holding serial perpetrators in custody until they can be safely managed in the community. Finally, they provide the Government with the opportunity to hold true to their commitment to halve violence against women and girls by ensuring that victims do not pay the price for the capacity crisis, while still managing pressure in prisons.
