Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 June 2026

Debate

Grooming Gangs: Independent Inquiry

Contribution

My Lords, the noble Baroness, Lady Doocey, raised a very important question to do with the quashing of convictions, and I am delighted and very proud that the Government are dealing with the quashing of convictions for prostitution. However, there are other offences which, in the view of many people, need to be quashed, because they are having a blighting effect on the future lives of these young people. I would be grateful if my noble friend could tell me that the Government are going to look at wider quashing of offences.
