Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, whether he has any plans to review the categories of offences which are capable of referral to the Court of Appeal on the grounds of leniency.

The Government has committed to extending the scope of the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme and is carefully considering how best to do that. As a first step towards meeting that commitment, the Home Secretary has announced that the scheme would be extended to cover all terrorism cases heard in the Crown Court.
