Lord Hanson of Flint (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Let me finish. I am surrounded by a phalanx of lawyers who deal with this on a daily basis. I am trying to represent, at 12.36 am, the Government’s position on this, as I have done. I hold that position. If the noble Lord does not agree with it, there will be an opportunity any moment now to divide and I suggest that he does so. I give way to my noble and learned friend, whom I still regard as a friend as we entered Parliament on the same day, a long time ago.
