Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 February 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

At Second Reading, I said that Clause 191 should be deleted from the Bill. On reflection, I have come to the conclusion that such is too harsh a judgment. Moreover, it is hard to reconcile that view with the Infanticide Act 1938. I think a compromise is justified—hence my Amendment 456C.
