Independent Sentencing Review
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what recent estimate she has made of when the Independent Review of Sentencing will be complete.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
This Sentencing Review is chaired by former Lord Chancellor, David Gauke and aims to ensure that there is always a place in prison for violent offenders.
The Review launched on Tuesday 22 October 2024 and is estimated to run for six months. We therefore expect that the review will report in Spring 2025.
