Mr. WalkerTo ask the Attorney-General if he will refer the case of Mr. Ian Magill, sentenced at Belfast Crown Court on 14 November, to the Court of Appeal on the ground of undue leniency. [18503]
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe Criminal Justice Act 1988, which creates the power to refer a sentence I consider to be unduly lenient to the Court of Appeal, limits that power to sentences imposed for certain offences specified in the Act or in Orders made under it. My power does not extend to the offences for which Ian Patrick Magill was sentenced.
