Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Taken together, these amendments would and should trigger a far more aggressive business disruption process across the porn ecosystem. Payment service providers such as Vendo and Segpay and acquiring banks across the sector such as Woodforest and Paysafe, plus Visa and Mastercard, would have a far clearer set of rules that they would need to apply to the content they process—or face repercussions. Porn is ultimately about the money, and we need far tighter regulation and law that ends the grey area and replaces the passive, light-touch self-regulation with far more proactive scrutiny. I hope this House and the Government will support these amendments in full.
