Proceeding contribution from Alun Michael (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 October 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Cutting Crime (Justice Reinvestment).
Cutting Crime (Justice Reinvestment)
The problem cited by the Minister is a lawyer's problem, rather than a practical problem. There should not be too strict an adherence to the tariff as anything other than a starting point for sentencing. The tariff should be calibrated according to what will work in the particular set of circumstances, as well as according to the nature of the offences. That is a much more intelligent way of approaching these matters.
