Lord Davies of Gower (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

My Lords, my Amendment 394 seeks a presumption against prosecution for alleged conduct by authorised firearms officers. I really think that we owe it to firearms officers, who have an exceptional responsibility, to provide this presumption against prosecution. I have to say that I did not hear the warm words that I was looking for from the Government Front Bench, so I am afraid that I seek to divide the House on this.
