Petitions

Susan Elan Jones Excerpts

Wednesday 16th July 2014 Commons Chamber

[Susan Elan Jones (Clwyd South) (Lab)]

I present a petition on behalf of the residents of Clywd South concerning the sentence of Dennis Igo.

The petition states:

The Petition of residents of Clwyd South,

Declares that the Petitioners believe that the two year suspended sentence and three hundred hours of community service handed down to Dennis Igo was far too low; further that Mr Igo possessed more than 250,000 indecent images of children; further that the Petitioners believe that Mr Igo used his wife’s illness as an excuse for his behaviour; further that the Petitioners believe that Mr Igo’s wife’s illness should not have been used as a mitigating factor; further that the Petitioners believe that the low sentence handed down to Mr Igo sends the wrong message to other people committing similar offences; and further that a local Petition on this subject has received over 100 signatures.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons requests that the Attorney General review the sentence given to Dennis Igo.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.
