Supporting amendments to the Police, Crime, Sentencing & Courts Bill
Ahead of next Monday’s House of Lords Committee Stage debate, we’ve published two joint briefings on amendments to the Police, Crime, Sentencing & Courts Bill. The amendments would reform the IPP sentence; and introduce judicial oversight for a new power allowing the government to prevent automatic release.
