§ Mr. LidingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many offenders would serve shorter terms in prison than at present under his proposals for custody-plus sentences; and if he will make a statement. [217]

Once the report is published there will be a period of consultation and I will want to consider carefully which "Halliday" proposals should be taken forward.
