HC Deb 24 October 2002 vol 391 c450W
Andrew Turner

To ask the Solicitor-General, what steps she is taking to publicise the public's right to seek review of unduly lenient sentences. [75303]

The Solicitor-General

The Attorney-General or I can refer a case to the Court of Appeal if we regard it as unduly lenient.

The prosecutor at court will, if the sentence is very lenient, advise the victim or relatives that they can ask us to refer.
