UK Justice Secretary gains power to veto sentencing guideline changes, aiming to ensure "democratic lock."
The UK Justice Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, will gain the power to veto changes to sentencing guidelines proposed by the independent Sentencing Council.
This move follows a dispute over claims of "two-tier" justice and aims to ensure a "democratic lock," requiring both the Justice Secretary and the Lady Chief Justice to approve new directives.
The changes, part of the Sentencing Bill introduced in the House of Commons, also include measures to tackle prison overcrowding.
