Under the provisions of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 the Justice Select Committee must be consulted on proposed draft sentencing guidelines by the Sentencing Council for England and Wales. The draft assault guideline - http://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/docs/ASSAULT_DraftGuideline_web.pdf - is the first guideline to be developed by the Sentencing Council since it was established in April 2010. The proposed guideline will replace the existing guideline on assault published by the Sentencing Guidelines Council in February 2008. This report includes the Committee's comments to the Sentencing Council as a respondent to their consultation, draws attention to the guideline and gives the evidence received. The Committee will take the same approach when publishing its consideration of future guidelines.
