JAMIE MASON, AGED 12

Early day motion 825, tabled 2 March 2005 by Ken Purchase (Labour/Co-operative). Signed by 54 members.

That this House expresses its deepest sympathy with the parents, relatives and school friends of Jamie Mason, aged 12, who was tragically killed by the vehicle of an unlicensed driver; is dismayed by and deplores the derisory sentence of two months' imprisonment given by the Wolverhampton Magistrates' Court; and calls on the Government to review the sentencing policy which allows those driving without a licence to take a life and not pay an appropriate penalty.
