Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 February 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

History tells us why. We know from past undercover policing scandals that things can and do go wrong—authorisations overdone, lives deeply harmed and fundamental rights breached. In some cases, it is only investigative journalism that brought all these abuses to light and exposed the truth of what happened. Even then, those responsible have not faced accountability.
