Business question from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 March 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Does the Leader of the House agree that one group who will not be enjoying Easter are the families of people murdered by criminals released after serving only half their sentence under the Government’s early release scheme? Is he aware of the reports last weekend that people sentenced to life imprisonment are in fact being released after serving only a fraction of their sentence, and will he review his policy of brushing aside repeated requests for a debate on honesty in sentencing, which should not be left to half-hour Adjournment debates such as that secured yesterday by my hon. Friend the Member for Monmouth (David T.C. Davies)?
