Criminal Justice Bill

Proceeding contribution from Meg Hillier (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 November 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Criminal Justice Bill.

Again, I find myself breaking out in agreement with the right hon. Gentleman.

If the sanction is too low, people will keep doing it. As with county lines, it is clear that criminal gangs are often using and exploiting vulnerable people to do their dirty work. Those vulnerable people get caught, but we do not get Mr Big. Shoplifting is becoming an epidemic in many of our areas.
