Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Amendment 434 would clarify that suppliers of chatbots that commit offences under Amendments 422D and 433 could be subject to Ofcom’s enforcement powers if they are regulated services under the Act. Amendment 435 would attribute legal responsibility to senior individuals within a company that commits an offence under both the offences. People who profit from rolling out untested, unsafe products must be made accountable. Until Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk or their senior colleagues share some of the burden for ensuring safety, we will always struggle to see meaningful change.
