"The Government and the Law Commission were at odds yesterday over plans to introduce a two-tier offence of murder. The commission, which advises the Government on law reform, proposed two categories of murder - first- and second-degree - in which murderers who do not intend to kill their victims would not receive automatic life sentences."
