HC Deb 09 December 1992 vol 215 c661W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce proposals to increase the penalties available under the Aggravated Vehicle Taking Act 1992.

Mr. Jack

It is not our present intention to change the sentencing provisions of the Act. We have, however, made clear our intention to raise the maximum penalty for causing death by dangerous or drink driving to 10 years, as soon as a suitable legislative opportunity is available.
