Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill

This is a separate point. Amendment 215 would require the court to

“make inquiries to establish whether the offender is a primary carer for a child”

and, if it discovers that the defendant is, to then order a pre-sentence report about the circumstances of that child and the impact. Is the Minister asserting that that provision is currently in the sentencing guidelines?
