Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Last week, a judge sentenced a man who killed a pedestrian while riding a bike at 27 miles per hour. He sentenced him to a six-month driving ban and a £240 fine. That cycling killer claimed he did not know his bike could go at that speed. Well, dearie me. Of course, our wonderful CPS did not even charge him with the killing. That shows what the law thinks of pedestrians, does it not? There was a manslaughter of a pedestrian and the killer got a six-month driving ban.
