HC Deb 27 April 1993 vol 223 c349W
Mr. Harvey

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to review the maximum sentence where fatality follows as a result of car theft.

Mr. Jack

We have no plans at present to review the maximum penalties for offences under the Aggravated Vehicle-Taking Act 1992. 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.
