Sentencing Bill

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

My only concern about the reply my right hon. and learned Friend gave me a few moments ago is that we are no longer making a comparison with the same cohort. In a previous analysis by the Ministry of Justice, we had a like-for-like cohort and we looked at the period from the end of the prison sentence and the start of the community sentence. Will he agree to rerun that analysis with a matched cohort, this time with a like-for-like comparison beginning at the start of the prison sentence, so that we have that incapacitation effect and can have a fair comparison?
