Baroness Verma (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

My Lords, I completely support my noble friend. I have worked in this area for over three decades and know the communities well. Sadly, unless it is very clear that those community members will be punished in the same way as the perpetrator—in many cases, there are many perpetrators —this will not be effective. Clarity needs to be put into legislation, so I wholeheartedly support my noble friend.
