Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 February 2026

Debate

Public Order Act 2023 (Interference With Use or Operation of Key National Infrastructure) Regulations 2025

Contribution

There can be no denying that innovation, crisis response and life-saving care are worthy and vital pursuits; so is the right to protest. But as a Government, it is our responsibility to ensure that both those pursuits can continue unimpeded. I look forward to hearing about the noble Baroness’s amendment, but I believe the case the Government have made is both fair and proportionate, and I commend the Motion to the House.
