Baroness Chakrabarti (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I am grateful to all noble Lords, particularly at this witching hour—or beyond. We are in the wrong place at the moment. I am not going to rehearse the arguments, but I am grateful to my noble friend the Minister for not slamming the door or locking it, and for engaging with the Bar Council’s review. Future generations will not look kindly on us for suggesting that 10 year-olds should be criminalised. With that, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
