HC Deb 19 May 1994 vol 243 cc568-9W
23. Mr. Burns

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he last had a meeting with the Attorney-General to discuss the policy of appealing against lenient sentences; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Maclean

I meet my right hon. and learned Friend frequently. We discuss a wide range of matters of common interest. We share the same view of the importance of the power contained in section 35 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988.
