My amendments 18, 19, 21, 22, 27, 28, 30 and 31 would remove the suspended sentence presumption for those guilty of firearm offences, burglary or terrorism-related offences, and those who fail to surrender to custody. I cannot believe that it has been necessary to even put these amendments down—surely it makes sense that those people would go to prison—but with this Government I have to table these amendments to this abomination of a Bill before the House today.
