Details

The Sentencing (Pre-consolidation Amendments) Bill makes largely technical amendments to existing sentencing legislation to facilitate the consolidation of sentencing procedure law via the Law Commissions 鈥楽entencing Code鈥�. It:

  • removes historic layers of legislation and gives effect to the 鈥榗lean sweep鈥� of sentencing legislation
  • makes changes to the existing legislation (pre-consolidation amendments) which are required, or otherwise desirable, to enable the consolidation to take place
