Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 October 2026

Debate

Public Office (Accountability) Bill

Contribution

Might I just ask the noble and learned Lord a question? My amendment would be inserted in Clause 5, on page 5, after line 21—that is, after Clause 5(1)(b)(ii). Clause 5 already talks about “failure to comply” and “failure will impede”. This is not a general castigation. It sits very firmly within the much more general failure, which will not have happened entirely without the knowledge of people at the top of the organisation.
