Home Office

Asked if the Prime Minister thought it was right for judges to interpret letters regarding sentencing from the Home Secretary and the Lord Chancellor, the PMOS said the Lord Chief Justice had said the note put out by the Home Office to the judiciary was simply a reminder. Each judge sat in their own court made their own decisions about sentences.

Asked if the Prime Minister had full confidence in the Home Secretary, the PMOS said yes, the Prime Minister had full confidence in the Home Secretary.
