The CPS has the primary responsibility for referring unduly lenient sentences, but I am a little concerned that it does so only patchily. A constituent of mine, Mr. Taylor, was knocked over and kicked in the head. He was saved from worse injury being inflicted by two young men who had received very nominal sentences for previous convictions for violence. I have much respect for my local senior Crown prosecutor, but it did not appear that that case would be taken on until I had written about it. Are systematic procedures in place to ensure that each sentence is reviewed as soon as it is given out, and that the possibility of review is always at the forefront of the mind of those who work for the CPS?
