§ LORD DENHAM asked Her Majesty's Government:
§ What is the maximum sentence that may be given to a man convicted of robbery (1) with violence, and (2) without violence; and how much remission is available for good conduct in each case.
§ LORD STONHAMFor robbery with violence, or robbery while armed or in company with others, the maximum 902 sentence is imprisonment for life; for simple robbery it is imprisonment for fourteen years. Under the Prison Rules 1964, every prisoner serving a sentence of imprisonment for a fixed term of more than one month may, on the ground of his industry and good conduct, be granted remission of up to one-third of the term of his sentence.
