Proceeding contribution from Martin Vickers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sentencing Reform/Legal Aid.


Sentencing Reform/Legal Aid

The Lord Chancellor said in his statement, ““Public confidence in the criminal justice system is unacceptably low,”” and sadly that is the case. Does he agree that only when sentencing policy more truly reflects public opinion will that confidence return?
