  1. LORD JUSTICE MAURICE KAY: On 27th January, [2010] EWCA Crim 246 , when I was sitting with Sharp J and Sir Christopher Holland, we dismissed this appellant's appeal against sentence.

  2. We have received an application to certify a point of general public importance for the Supreme Court, the question being:

    3. "Is it appropriate to impose a sentence of imprisonment for public protection upon a defendant who has been recalled upon a life sentence?"

    We have decided to grant the certificate on the point as drafted by counsel but to refuse leave to appeal. That will be a matter for the Supreme Court.
