Homicide Law Reform

Proceeding contribution from John Howell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 June 2016. It occurred during Backbench debate on Homicide Law Reform.

I appreciate what my hon. Friend is saying about sentencing. Of course, we now have the Sentencing Council and, without wishing to create a bit of a love-in for members of the Justice Committee here, we do have the power to review sentences and comment on them. Is he suggesting that we should take a harder line on those in order to get the sentencing right? I get the feeling that the judiciary are simply following our guidelines.
