The first King’s Speech for more than 70 years will be used by the Prime Minister to set out a string of criminal justice measures.
Rishi Sunak will seek to make law and order a key election battleground with a series of measures in the King’s Speech promising tougher sentences for killers, rapists and grooming gang ringleaders.
“Thanks to this Government, crime is down, but we must always strive to do more, taking the right long-term decisions for the country and keeping the worst offenders locked up for longer. The new Criminal Justice Bill will include widely trailed measures to ensure reasonable force can be used to make offenders appear in the dock to face their victims for sentencing, or risk having up to two years added to their jail term.
A Victims and Prisoners Bill will give ministers the power to block parole for the worst offenders and ban them from marrying in prison. “The Government should be focusing on delivering the prison places we actually need to keep criminals behind bars.”
