Memorandum from the Sentencing Guidelines
Council
REVIEW OF
GUIDELINES ON
SENTENCES FOR
BREACHES OF
EXPORT CONTROL
I refer to your letter of 3 August 2006 enclosing
a copy of the Committee's report.
At its meeting on 6 October, the Sentencing
Guidelines Council discussed the Committees' recommendation that
it "conduct a review of the guidelines on sentences for breaches
of export control as a priority". The Council already has
a very full work programme for 2006-07 and, after careful consideration,
decided that sentencing for breaches of export control could not
be accommodated within this, particularly in view of the relatively
small number of cases involved. The Council agreed, however, to
consider the issue again when it determines its work programme
for 2007-08.
