The Parmoor Lecture: Achieving consistency in sentencing



Introduction

"May I start by thanking you for the invitation to give this, the fifth annual lecture held in memory of Milo Cripps, the fourth Lord Parmoor, a colourful character who clearly lived a wonderfully varied life. While at Oxford and whether to celebrate his birthday or the age of his car, he is said to have filled its radiator with champagne, leaving the University not knowing what he wanted to do. He went on to become a banker, a bookseller dealing in antiquarian books and, most famously a large botanical collection, a traveller and, most important, a staunch supporter of the work of the Howard League for Penal Reform."
