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


Rehabilitation and Sentencing

I very much welcome my right hon. and learned Friend's announcement that those who commit a crime using a knife can expect to be sent to prison. However, will he elaborate on another part of his statement? He mentioned having a sentencing framework that is comprehensible to the public, which I hope also applies to victims. I found during the general election that a number of my constituents do not understand why, when somebody is sentenced to six years, they automatically go home after three.
