Proceeding contribution from Brooks Newmark (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 January 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Violence Against Women.


Violence Against Women

As the Minister knows, I take an interest in this problem. The evidence I have seen shows that the average length of sentences has fallen dramatically from 90.5 months in 2003—a year she mentioned—to 81.2 months in 2006. Can she explain that?
