A mandatory life sentence must still be given in the UK for murder but the judge then gives the minimum term that must be served:

Type of murder......................................Starting point
Multiple/exceptionally serious murder..........Whole-life order
Murder involving firearm.............................30 years
Murder of a police or prison officer on duty....30 years
Murder done for personal gain.....................30 years
Murder involving knife (post 2010)...............25 years
Other offences.......................................... 15 years
