Proceeding contribution from Bishop of Gloucester (Bishops (affiliation)) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 4 June 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sentencing Guidelines (Pre-sentence Reports) Bill.


Sentencing Guidelines (Pre-sentence Reports) Bill

I am minded not to move this, given what we have seen already, but I did just want to say to the Minister that there has been real confusion here, and I am really disappointed that this is undermining something that is already in existence. The Minister said the pre-sentencing guidelines are saying one thing, and the Bill is saying another. I am very disappointed, but I am not going to move this amendment.
