Lincoln Jopp

Conservative — Spelthorne

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 May 2026

Debate

Youth Justice

Contribution

I thank the Secretary of State for his statement. Is he concerned that by reducing the relative punishment for youth offending relative to adult offending, he may inadvertently be making the young people of Spelthorne and across the country more attractive to be recruited by county lines gangs? That would clearly be an unintended consequence of his actions, but will he think again if it turns out that that is the case?
