Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 February 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Another important aspect that I should bring to your Lordships’ attention is that this Government recognise the importance of the criminal justice response to children being carefully informed by the best available evidence as it emerges. We remain attentive to studies looking at youth justice system issues, including, for example, those highlighted in the Michael Sieff Foundation’s recent report on special educational needs and neurodivergence in the child suspect cohort.
