Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 February 2026
Debate
Crime and Policing BillContribution
The noble Baroness, Lady Chakrabarti, clearly set out the problems created. I was privileged to attend a meeting that she held, which was addressed by some of those who had suffered grievously at the hands of those they had trusted and loved, who turned out to be using them. They were very courageous in telling us what had happened to them. I think that their experience justified this proportionate and necessary amendment. It is clear that more oversight is needed on CHIS activity.
