answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2018 answer text <p>The Government is considering further expansion of the unduly lenient sentencing scheme, to ensure it covers offences that are of particular concern to the public. We recently added further terrorism offences to the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Given that the scheme requires a reference by the Attorney General to the Court of Appeal, it is right that the scheme is focused on the more serious offences sentenced in the Crown Court. As a result, we have no immediate plans to expand the scope of the scheme to cases sentenced in the Magistrates’ Court.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 16/04/2018 08:53:06 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
