answer text

The offences in Schedules 1 and 2 to the EU Referendum Bill follow precedents set by existing law in relation to sentencing.For these offences the maximum penalties in each part of the UK are the same on conviction on indictment. Where there are differences in the maximum custodial sentence on summary conviction, this reflects existing differences in sentencing powers of the courts that try cases summarily in different parts of the UK.For summary convictions in England and Wales, the Bill provides that references to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months should be read as 6 months for offences committed before section 154(1) of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 is commenced.
