Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I also question some of the statistics that people have put forward. I listened to the noble Baroness, Lady Falkner of Margravine, who said that there are very few actual prosecutions, but what did not come across from her statistics is that for every prosecution, we know that 10 women are arrested and subjected to very lengthy investigations. That is in part why this clause has come about.
