Proceeding contribution from David Crausby (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rehabilitation and Sentencing.


Rehabilitation and Sentencing

Earlier this year in my constituency, a driver who had been drinking crashed into a group of teenagers on the pavement, seriously and permanently injuring them. At the trial, the judge bitterly complained that he could give him only the maximum two-year sentence for dangerous driving. Will the right hon. and learned Gentleman join me in supporting the Drive for Justice campaign to give judges more flexibility in sentencing dangerous drivers?
