Baroness Coffey (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Well, that seems to be the case. My concern is that we hear about collaboration, but here is a tool that the Government can readily deploy, with the backing of Parliament, in order to strengthen their hand, and not wait for more time. I am conscious that all sides of the House want this to end. However, I have to say that the attitude so far has been that it is inconvenient to discuss this important matter.
