Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

My Amendment 344 rebalances that equation. It says, “If you profit from this model, you must take responsibility for preventing harm and, if you fail to do so, you will face the consequences”. That is not punitive, it is fair. I submit that the evidence is clear, the public concern is real, the harm is growing, and the law as it stands is inadequate. My Amendment 344 offers a principled, proportionate and legally sound solution. It mirrors the structure of the Bribery Act and protects the public from a danger that is now visible on every high street in the country. It is not about punishing business; it is about preventing avoidable deaths and injuries.
