Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick has vowed to abolish the Sentencing Council, labelling it a 'two-tier justice nightmare' in a fiery speech at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester on Tuesday.
Jenrick is expected to lay out plans that would strip the Council of its authority to issue sentencing guidelines to courts in Wales and England. 'The Sentencing Council is not fit for purpose. Never again can the British people face the prospect of two-tier justice,' Jenrick said as quoted by several media outlets.
