The Government is due to pass an emergency law to stop two tier sentencing rules which discriminate against white men.
"We will fast track it," the Prime Minister told GB News.
The emergency legislation has followed public outcry at the new sentencing guidelines which hand out tougher rulings to straight, white men.
The controversial guidelines, which are due to take effect from tomorrow, require magistrates and judges to consult a pre-sentence report before ruling whether to imprison someone from an ethnic or religious minority.

The same applies to those aged between 18 and 25, abuse survivors and pregnant women.
Shadow justice minister Robert Jenrick dubbed the guidance "two-tier justice", lambasting the "blatant bias" against white men and Christians.
Speaking to GB News this morning, the Newark MP said: "Well, in 16 hours' time, we will have a two-tier justice system in this country because biased sentencing guidelines will come into force, which discriminate against white people, men, and Christians.
"We have been raising this issue repeatedly in the House of Commons, in the media, and on GB News, asking the Government to act. We brought forward a bill, but they rejected it."
