I thank all Members who have spoken so powerfully in the debate. Of course, we look forward to engaging with the Minister and the Government on the action plan, but I must say that closed minds still seem to prevail in relation to the key issue of resentencing. If the Government will not move, Parliament must move for them. I have prepared a draft clause to enact the recommendations of the report for a resentencing exercise, and I shall not hesitate to move it when the Victims and Prisoners Bill returns to this House. I hope it will have support from across the Chamber.
Question put and agreed to.
Resolved,
That this House has considered the Third Report of the Justice Committee, IPP Sentences, HC 266, and the Government response, HC 933.
3 pm
Sitting adjourned.
