Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 May 2025

Debate

Pensioners: Shoplifting

Contribution

Will the Minister discuss this issue with the College of Policing to ensure there is a consistent and fair approach to all offenders; balancing compassion for those who are in genuine hardship with the need for deterrence and public confidence in the justice system?
