Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 February 2026
Debate
Crime and Policing BillContribution
Clause 191 is a simple and principled stance, which I think reflects the strong position in the House of Commons. This affects women, in particular young women. I look around the Committee, and I do not want to be accused of age discrimination in any way but the people debating this, particularly the older gentlemen, are very far removed from the lived reality of women, in particular young women, who find themselves here. I feel very strongly about this.
