Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Rest assured that, if the conclusion of these pieces of work points to the need for further legislative changes, the Government will seek to legislate as soon as parliamentary time allows. The noble Lord, Lord Cameron of Lochiel, tried to tempt me to comment on the operational undertakings of the way that the current regime acts and whether it is speedy enough. I will not be drawn into commenting on those particular operational practices, but I will point out that in our violence against women and girls strategy we are launching intensification sites in select areas, which will look at the best way of driving up the use of stalking protection orders and also, as I said, testing innovative approaches to enforcing conditions and monitoring breaches.
