Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

My small amendment is not the panacea, but we believe it would, if accepted, support the police and encourage the Government to seek further measures to deter and stem this menace. Nudges to our criminal justice system and regulations by themselves will not work; this demands a massive shift in our policing capability and our confidence to do the right thing. The amendment itself simply extends the opportunity for the police to investigate and, if necessary, suspend operations of a premises—repeatedly, if necessary—to pin these criminals down.
