Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 December 2025

Debate

Sentencing Bill

Contribution

My amendment seeks to temper the damage that Clause 32 would cause. It would add four subsections to Section 260 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003. The four subsections do not necessarily come as a package; each represents a discrete limit to the new policy. Proposed new subsection (1A) implements the three-year limit in line with the Gauke review—perhaps the Minister can tell us why the Government decided not to accept that recommendation in the review.
