Sentencing Reform/Legal Aid

My constituents will welcome the Secretary of State's announcement that more life sentences will be available to judges when dealing with serious, repeat and violent offenders. Will he tell the House what sort of offences that will cover and, specifically, which repeat offences will eventually carry the life tariff?
