- Date lodged: Monday, 03 June 2019
- Motion reference: S5M-17503.2
- Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 04 June 2019
As an amendment to motion S5M-17503 in the name of Liam Kerr (Whole Life Custody Sentences), leave out from "believes that" to end and insert "notes that the courts’ powers to deal with the most serious offenders have been strengthened by the introduction of orders for lifelong restriction in 2006 and the reforms to clarify the calculation of the punishment part of discretionary life sentences in the Criminal Cases (Punishment and Review) (Scotland) Act 2012; acknowledges that the Parliament will give appropriate consideration to any further proposals to enhance the courts’ sentencing power, but notes that Scotland’s judges can already impose a punishment part of a life sentence that extends beyond the likely remainder of a prisoner’s life in appropriate cases."
