Bradley questioned the Justice Secretary in the House of Commons on Wednesday (December 10th).
Speaking in the House of Commons, Bradley said:
"To boost public confidence in the criminal justice system, can the Minister confirm that the Government will not resort to increased dependency on community sentences, many of which are unserved?"
In response, the Justice Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, said:
"As the hon. Gentleman will have heard me say many times, we have brought forward an independent sentencing review to look at the issues of sentencing in the round to ensure that we are never again in the position where we are about to run out of prison places and cannot lock up those who must be locked up for reasons of public protection. The review will also make recommendations on how prisoner rehabilitation can help people turn their lives around and, more importantly, cut the number of victims that would result from reoffending."
