SLSC publishes 29th report of session 2024–25
The House of Lords Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee (SLSC) has published its 29th Report of Session 2024–25, drawing special attention to two draft instruments. The first, Draft Criminal Justice Act 2003 (Suitability for Fixed Term Recall) Order 2025, proposes mandating a 28-day fixed term recall for offenders serving under four-year sentences (18 years or over), aiming to free up 1,400 prison places by November 2025. The second instrument, the Draft Online Safety Super-Complaints (Eligibility and Procedural Matters) Regulations 2025, outlines a framework for making super-complaints to the Office of Communications about systemic online safety issues, including stringent eligibility criteria and a cap of one complaint per six-month period.
