There was an item in Hansard a week or so ago confirming that the time limit for referral of an unduly lenient sentence had passed without such a referral being made. Today's announcement from the Law Officers confirms that although they received a complaint the threshold for referral was not crossed.
General comment in legal circles seemed to suggest judge had 'belt and braced' the point in his sentencing remarks.
