Baroness Fox of Buckley (Non-Afl)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I am asking a question; is that allowed on Report? I want just to clarify: when the Minister says a tweet versus a serious offence such as a public order offence or harassment, will he accept that that can be a speech crime? I have never mentioned tweets. It is serious if you get sent to prison for a speech crime. That is why there is concern about speech.
