Lord Harris of Haringey (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 May 2025

Debate

Pensioners: Shoplifting

Contribution

My Lords, there was a lot of public concern about the policy, which it seems that the previous Government were complicit in, that there would be an arbitrary threshold in terms of shoplifting before proceedings would take place. Can my noble friend confirm that that is totally against current government policy and that we will encourage police forces to prosecute in all such cases?
