Oral Answers to Questions

Greg Mulholland Excerpts

Tuesday 6th September 2016 Commons Chamber

[Greg Mulholland (Leeds North West) (LD)]

Too often the victims of criminal driving and their families are not actually treated as victims of crime, but told that they have been involved in an accident. How can that culture be changed, and when, finally, will we get the review of sentencing for these types of offences?

[Dr Lee]

I do not believe that that is in my purview, but if the hon. Gentleman writes to me I will by all means reply to him on the issue. I agree that victims in such situations need more protection and that the culture needs to change.
