HC Deb 25 April 1996 vol 276 c260W
15. Mr. Tipping

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what research he has undertaken into the consistency of sentencing across different courts. [25052]

Mr. Maclean

No specific research project has been undertaken on this topic. However, information on sentencing variations between courts is published annually and a new publication has recently been issued showing the variations graphically between magistrates' courts.
