Baroness Falkner of Margravine (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 February 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I will say one more sentence before I sit down, and I will be happy for both noble Baronesses to intervene then. We have obligations to the rights of the unborn child, as that is what very late-term abortions are about in terms of viability. These things engage our ethics and responsibilities in law. I suggest that the Minister seeks to engage with those of us tabling amendments to guide us on how we in this Committee can do both responsibly.
