These measures came into force on 28 June 2022 and apply to offences committed on or after that date.</p><p>The Sentencing Council has reflected these changes in the sentencing guidelines and the starting point for cases falling into the highest level of seriousness is now 12 years’ imprisonment, a significant increase from the previous 8 years’ starting point. The sentence range for the most serious instances is now 8 to 18 years’ imprisonment.</p><p>Although the starting points and sentence ranges for this offence have increased, the courts still retain the discretion to sentence outside of this range and impose a life sentence where the seriousness of the offence is such that they consider it more appropriate.</p><p>We continue to work alongside the Department for Transport to ensure sentencing law for driving offences is appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Scunthorpe answering member printed Sir Nicholas Dakin question first answered 18/10/2024 09:24:22 answering member 4056 label Biography information for Nic Dakin

uin	6564
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2024 answer text <p>In 2023, the previous government repealed the Business Impact Target (BIT) through the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act. The BIT was the principal mechanism through which government made an estimate of the total annual cost of regulation to UK businesses. In place of that, the reformed Better Regulation Framework encourages an earlier and more thorough assessment of impacts of individual regulatory proposals. This government will use the framework to ensure that new regulations achieve their objectives, with the minimum cost to business and support economic growth. We will set out further proposals for regulatory reform in due course.</p> answering member constituency Ellesmere Port and Bromborough answering member printed Justin Madders question first answered 14/10/2024 10:46:20 answering member 4418 label Biography information for Justin Madders
