MR COLLINSON

Motion Text

That this House notes the decision to quash the custodial sentence given to Mr John Collinson from Chorley in Lancashire for taking lost golf balls; appreciates the fact that common sense has prevailed but recognises that such a sentence should not have been issued for taking lost property; and calls for a review of the judicial system so that people who commit serious crimes receive custodial sentences and the public's faith in the criminal justice system is restored.
