OPPOSITION DAY (16th allotted day)
|
[Until 10.00 pm]
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
That this House opposes changing the maximum discount for custodial sentences to up to 50 per cent. for those who plead guilty.
|
|
|
As an Amendment to Edward Miliband’s proposed Motion (Sentencing):
|
|
|
|
(a)
|
| |
Line 1, leave out from ‘House’ to end and add ‘deplores the previous Government’s failure to tackle the national scandal of reoffending
and its mismanagement of the justice system; notes that discounts for guilty pleas have been an established principle of common
law for decades, and that they can speed up justice and spare victims and witnesses the ordeal of waiting and preparing to
give evidence at trial; and welcomes the Government’s intention to overhaul sentencing to deliver more effective punishment
for offenders and increased reparation for victims and to reform offenders to cut crime.’.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
That this House opposes the Government’s cuts leading to over 12,000 fewer police officers across England and Wales; believes
that the 20 per cent. cut to central Government funding to the police goes far beyond the assessment of HM Inspectorate of
Constabulary of efficiency savings that are possible without affecting frontline services; calls on the Government to withdraw
plans for American-style police and crime commissioners for which there will be no checks or balances; and believes that the
Government is making it harder for the police to cut crime by weakening the National DNA Database, leading to the loss of
1,000 criminal matches per year; ending anti-social behaviour orders, increasing bureaucracy on CCTV, creating serious loopholes
in child protection and failing to develop any cross-Governmental strategy to cut crime.
|
|
|
The selection of the matters to be debated this day has been made by the Leader of the Opposition (Standing Order No. 14(2)).
|
|
Debate may continue until 10.00 pm.
