Sentencing (Pre-consolidation Amendments) Bill

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 ‘Sentencing Code’. It:

• removes historic layers of legislation and gives effect to the ‘clean sweep’ 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
