§ Mr. Rymanasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will as a matter of urgency introduce legislation to amend the Explosive Substances Act in order to enable a court to sentence a person convicted of an offence thereunder to life imprisonment.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesThe maximum sentence on conviction under Section 2 of the Act is life imprisonment and the other penalties available under the Act are substantial, but I am considering the comments made by the court in a recent case.
