Road Traffic Offences: Sentencing
(asked on 4th September 2017) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what plans he has to review sentence levels for driving offences.
This question was answered on 11th September 2017
Sentencing in individual cases is a matter for the courts working within the legal framework on offences and maximum penalties set by Parliament. A consultation on maximum penalties for driving offences resulting in death or serious injury, issued by the previous government, closed on 1 February 2017. I intend to make an announcement in due course.
