I think not.


From HMG:
http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/YoungPeo.../TypesOfCrime/...


"The maximum sentences for intent to supply drugs are... up to life in
prison or an unlimited fine (or both) for a Class A drug"


See the word *only* in Charles's post. There are a range of offences for
which life imprisonment is available, but only murder for which a mandatory
life sentence must be imposed. It seems that a determinate sentence may even
be imposed for treason.

Correct - apologies to you both
