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

For Liberal Democrats, this statutory instrument is, primarily, an absolute affront to the parliamentary process and a further dangerous move in undermining a right to protest. Of course, it is also about animals and animal testing. Labour has been clear in its commitment to end animal testing and improve animal welfare through various measures. The moves it proposes are positive, but they are undermined by this statutory instrument.
