Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, whether the Government plans to extend the scope of the unduly lenient sentence scheme.

The Government re-committed in our manifesto that we will extend the scope of the unduly lenient sentence scheme. We will shortly be extending the scheme so that it applies to terrorism offences sentenced in the Crown Court.
