HC Deb 19 February 1998 vol 306 c789W
Mr. Fabricant

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to review the appeals procedure in respect of over-lenient sentences. [28782]

Mr. Michael

We are in discussion with colleagues about the best way to implement our manifesto commitment to extend the Attorney-General's powers to refer cases to the Court of Appeal for review where it appears to him that the sentence is unduly lenient.
