The conviction board is preparing to suspend the introduction of orientations criticized as leading to a “two -level” justice system following a line with Downing Street, according to people familiar with its plans.

The body said that it will delay the controversial guidelines for judges in England and Wales to seek pre-set reports for criminal offenders, just hours before being implemented.

The Council previously reprimanded the pleasures of ministers at abandon the new orientationsInsisting last week that they “did not need review”, given that they were already subject to a “complete public consultation”.

The government said on Monday that it will introduce a rapid pursuit legislation to block the movement. The legislation would “clarify that guidance on conviction reports should not eliminate specific cohorts for differential treatment,” the Ministry of Justice said in a statement.

The conviction council declared late on Monday, that it was of the opinion that its guide “as it is written is necessary and adequate”.

However, after a meeting between the President of the Council and the Secretary of Justice Shabana Mahmood on the Government’s plans to introduce the legislation to block the orientation, the Council said it would provide its plans.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer repeatedly expressed the opposition to the new orientations of the conviction and was “disappointed” that the corpse did not keep it, his spokesman said on Monday earlier.

The leader of the work did not exclude the complete elimination of the body, reported his spokesman, confirming that the ministers “want to look at the role of the conviction”.

Mahmood was among the most widespread criticisms of orientations, under which judges are advised that the pre-sent reports are normally necessary for persons in private environments. These include those with a minority minority, cultural and faith minority minority, as well as young adults and women.

The reports are prepared by the probation officers to help the court establish sentences and include information about the offender’s fund and circumstances. Critics claim that guidelines would lead to preferential treatment for certain criminals.

The Secretary of Justice in Shadow, Robert Jenrick, accused Mahmood of “losing control over the justice system”, placing why he did not bring the legislation to block the implementation of orientations.

Mahmood said on Monday: “Equality before the law is the spine of public confidence in our justice system.

“I will change the law to ensure the correctness of everyone in our courts.”
