The secretary of state's argument here is based on -- the secretary of state herself recognized that she had the discretion under Florida law to accept returns filed outside of that seven-day deadline.

Justice's report coincides with an appeal today by Michael Howard, Home Secretary, against a High Court ruling that he acted unlawfully when he set at 15 years the minimum tariff the schoolboy murderers of two-year-old James Bulger should serve before being considered for release.

In its report, which follows a study of 170 life sentences, Justice says that, while the Home Secretary should lose his power to revise the tariff, the defence should have an appeal and the Attorney-General should be able to refer an apparently over-lenient tariff to the Appeal Court.
