Okay, I think we will have a bit of work to do in pre-legislative scrutiny on that.
There were two particularly important Supreme Court judgments this year. Obviously they happened after the heads of Bill had been drawn up. I am referring to DPP v. PB and DPP v. CC, which relate to statutory protection of anonymity afforded to children, the appropriateness of imposing life sentences on children and the sentencing courts' jurisdiction for a review. Is there going to be consideration of those judgments before the final Bill is published?
