Scott Young Petition

EDM number 553 in 2002-03, proposed by Andrew Rosindell on 22/01/2003.

That this House welcomes Kim and Ray Young to the House today; expresses its sadness at the loss of their son, Scott, who was killed in tragic circumstances when, on 14th December 2001, he was attacked and hit by a car; is appalled by the short sentence of only three years given to his killer; notes the incredible campaign the family have organised in collecting a petition of over 40,000 signatures that calls for greater justice and more appropriate sentencing for such crimes; further notes that the Home Secretary will be meeting them today to receive the petition and expresses the hope that all their efforts will be considered carefully by the Government; and calls for a review of sentencing policy to ensure the punishment fits the crime.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
