Shabana Mahmood, the Justice Secretary, wrote to the Sentencing Council urging it to reverse its changes to the guidance and registering her “displeasure”.
“Today’s updated guidelines do not represent my views or the views of this government,” she said. “As someone who is from an ethnic minority background myself, I do not stand for any differential treatment before the law, for anyone of any kind. There will never be a two-tier sentencing approach under my watch.”

Alongside ethnic background, the guidance says judges and magistrates should consider pre-sentence reports necessary if the offender was a woman, aged 18 to 25, at risk of their first jail sentence or a prison term of two years or less, pregnant or post-natal or the sole or primary carer for a dependent relative.
Other factors included an offender disclosing that they were transgender, had an addiction to drugs or alcohol, a chronic health condition or were victims of domestic abuse, modern slavery or grooming.
The Sentencing Council said that these factors are not an exhaustive list and a pre-sentence report can still be necessary if an individual does not fall into one of these cohorts.
I have read the article now and I'm a bit confused!
It looks like the government have nothing to do with this new guidance and are actually against the change:
