Proceeding contribution from Earl of Listowel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 July 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.
Coroners and Justice Bill
I am grateful for the Minister’s reply. Will he write to me on the last point, which is whether there has been progress, since the Corston report, on the treatment of women and men on an equal basis and on parity of sentencing? If I remember the report correctly, women were clearly being treated more harshly than men for similar offences.
