Sentencing Bill

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

Frankly, it allows our independent judiciary and magistrates, sitting throughout the country, to make decisions based on the individual circumstances of the case. I think it still allows them to impose an immediate custodial sentence in the vast majority of circumstances. I have read out the legal test, which can be applied any which way we want.
