Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, how many requests were received by his Department requesting the referral of the sentence in R v John Worboys to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence Scheme in 2009; and who those requests were made by.

According to our records, in 2009 the Attorney General’s Office received requests to refer John Worboys’s sentence to the Court of Appeal from a charity that campaigned against violence against women, and from an MP who passed on a constituent’s complaint about the sentence.
