My hon. Friend knows a lot about the scheme and has long-term interest in it. Of those ~~151~~ cases, only eight were referred by victims and a further nine by a member of a victim’s family, and that is not just an aberration for that year; it is a consistent trend. We regularly publish updates on the outcome of these sentences, and the revised victims code includes details of the ULS scheme.	My hon.
