Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Iqbal Mohamed and Alex Davies-Jones

Tuesday 10th December 2024 Commons Chamber

[Alex Davies-Jones]

This Government are committed to bringing forward a specific new offence of spiking. We are committed to modernising the existing legislation in this Session so that no other victims like Skylar, Laura and Jade suffer these abhorrent crimes.

[Iqbal Mohamed (Dewsbury and Batley) (Ind)]

Nearly 3,000 prisoners are still incarcerated under imprisonment for public protection sentences, which were abolished more than 12 years ago, many for offences not intended to be covered by such sentences. Will the Justice Secretary commit to expediting the Government plans to re-sentence all prisoners still stuck on indefinite IPP sentences to free up limited prison capacity?
