Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Wright (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 July 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Penal System.
Penal System
Does my hon. Friend agree that one of the other things that the public and the judiciary need to be confident about is that, when sentences are passed by a judge, those sentences will be served? The expectation of the court will be that the sentence will be served as it was passed and the danger of early release schemes is that those sentences are not in fact served. That in its turn will undermine the public’s confidence in the judiciary.
