Sentencing Bill

Proceeding contribution from Alberto Costa (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 December 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Sentencing Bill.

I am grateful to my right hon. and learned Friend for giving way so early in his speech. Will he confirm that the proposals he is presenting to the House on the Government’s behalf will ensure that anyone who commits an offence like those committed by Colin Pitchfork, who brutally raped and murdered two young women, and who might very well be released tomorrow after the Parole Board decision on the matter, will likely spend the whole of their natural life behind bars?
