tabling member constituency	Shipley
tabling member printed	Philip Davies
uin	223070
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2015 answer text <p>Under this Government crime is falling and criminals are more likely to go to prison and for longer. Drug offending is serious in itself, and drug dealers can expect substantial prison sentences, but drug abuse also underlies a huge volume of acquisitive and violent crime which can blight communities. The independent Sentencing Council issued a sentencing guideline on drug offences, effective from February 2012, which brought sentencing guidance together for the first time to help to ensure consistent and proportionate sentencing for all drug offences that come before courts.<br><br>The information requested is not held by the Ministry of Justice. The Crown Prosecution Service hold information on charging but do not centrally record the amount of drugs seized as part of a prosecution and so is unable to provide an answer due to disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 10/02/2015 17:59:11 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
