I move:
That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to promote greater transparency and consistency in judicial sentencing, whilst maintaining the independence of the judiciary, to establish a Judicial Sentencing Commission, to promote a clear, fair and consistent approach to judicial sentencing, to produce analysis and research on sentencing, and to promote public confidence in judicial sentencing.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
