Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 December 2025

Debate

Sentencing Bill

Contribution

All these are measures that in no way help to achieve what the Minister wants: sentences that help not only to provide punishment but in reducing the likelihood of reoffending. So I really hope that the Minister will think again. I do not believe all I read in the newspapers, but I have read that the Government are rethinking this. I hope for once that the newspapers are right.
