Rehabilitation of Offenders (Amendment) Bill [HL]

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill changes the rules on how long criminal convictions stay on someone's record before they become 'spent' (essentially hidden). It aims to help people who've served their sentences by giving them a fresh start, though the exact changes would depend on which offences are affected and the timescales involved.

Presented by Lord Dholakia.
