Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Wright (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fraud Bill [HL].


Fraud Bill [Lords]

The Solicitor-General mentioned that the maximum sentence for the offence would be five years, which is a restatement of the current law. Did the Government give any consideration to increasing the maximum sentence for the offence to make it comparable with the sentence for obtaining property by deception, or with the offences that replace that offence?
