The Law Commissions proposals for reform in 2006 go into some detail to solve the serous harm rule and the problems with mandatory sentencing. Their suggestions include different levels of murder, First degree murder; Killing with intention to kill, including cases of oblique intention. Killing with intention to cause serious injury with the knowledge and awareness that there is serious risk of death, this would be a mandatory life sentence. Second degree murder; Killing with the intention to cause serious injury, killing with intent to cause some injury or fear or risk of injury in awareness of possibility of death. Killing with diminished responsibility or with loss of self control.
However even with these reforms Francis Inglis and farmer Tony Martin would still receive life sentences, even with these reforms. So far the government have rejected any reforms on the law of insanity.
