Secretary of Justice Shabana Mahmood is setting to deal with Penalty Council Later this week after writing her, he warning her against “dictation” of the judges over new measures afraid to create a “two rows” of the legal system.
Spokesperson for Ms mahmood He confirmed that the meeting was appointed to continue the sentencing council on Thursday where it would clearly feel on new guidelines that could lead to lighter sentences for some on the basis of ethnicity and sex.
The Minister of Labor is in a rare agreement with his right wing Tory Shadow Justice Justice Robert Jenrick Who set the problem last week after the sentence of the sentences ignored the attitudes of ministers from the previous government to continue with new guidelines.
But after expressing their own disapproval guidelines, the Penalty Council, which is independent of the Government, postponed the objection of MS MAHMODOVs this week and rejected claims to create “two tier systems”.
New guidelines for judges to consider criminal crimes before he decides their sentence, she encouraged Mrs. Mahmood to write an independent body to erase “dissatisfaction” and calls for change in review.
The sentence council has published new principles for the courts to follow during the imposition of the sentence in the community and detention, including will suspend the prison time, last Wednesday.
Updated guidelines, which comes into force from April, that the report on the previous sentence would usually be necessary before sending a sentence for someone ethnic, cultural or faithful minorities, together with other groups aged 18 to 25 years old, women and pregnant women.
Ms. Mahmood wrote: “The report on the previous sentence can be instrumental to the assistance to the courts in determining their sentence. But there should not be awarded by the ethnicity, culture or religion of the perpetrator.”
In the letter of Justice William Davis, Chairman of the Council of Sentences in England and Wales, Mrs. Mahmood said that there were politics decisions, such as the Council for Penalties, and what kind of role should be played.
But Lord Justice Davis said that the Penalty Council preserves the “critical” position of the independent judiciary in relation to the penalties.
He said, “Sincerely, the question of the question of whether the inclusion of the list of cohort in the direction of the exhaust guideline was a political decision on any significance.
“However, regardless of the import of the decision, it is associated with the issue of sentencing.”
He further warned: “In criminal proceedings, where the perpetrator is the subject of the Prosecution by the state, the state should not determine the penalty imposed on an individual offender.
“If the guidelines for the sentence of any kind in any way dictates the crown ministers, this principle would be violated.”
The Chief of the Council said that he had legal advice whether to stand the power of the Registrar of Justice under military and justice requested the guidelines for the audit in this circumstance, and if it could be considered at the next body meeting.
“This is not the power used to appoint a council to revise the guideline immediately after publishing and which was the subject of detailed consultation with Lord Chancellor,” Lord Justice Davis said.
Ms. Mahmood said “No Minister” in this government approved for leading or was involved in counseling.
The previous government was also consulted about the change during the consultation period between 2023. by 2024. to 2024. years.
Lord Justice Davis said that there were 150 responses to the consultations on new guidelines, including the Minister for Persons, with “no problem expressed in the discussion now”.
New guidelines, the chairman added that there is “good evidence” inequality from the outcome of the penalty between white offenders and those ethnic minorities for some criminal offenses.
“Why does that inequality remain unclear,” he said.
“The VIEW Council is to provide a client with as much information as possible about the offender is one tool that such inequality could be resolved.
“I do not accept the premise of your objection to the relevant part of the cohort list for which the pre-state report will normally be necessary.
“I saw that the Guideline sent to the Kantencers to impose a milder punishment about those from ethnic minorities from white offenders. Clearly this suggestion is completely wrong.”
But Mrs. Mahmood had support from influential thinking policy.
David Spencer, the head of crime and justice on the exchange of politics, said: “A letter from the Council for Penalties with Shaban Mahmood is extraordinary.
“The Chair rejects the invitation to amend the guidelines – and defense of the prioritization of the Prescription Report for Criminous Ethnic Minorities.
“The Secretary of Justice cannot let this stand. There is no room for two-layer justice.”
