Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I agree with that statement. The police often have their hands tied behind their backs, hampering their ability to fight crime effectively. The public sector equality duty is just that: excessive bureaucracy. Communities across the country want visible policing, proactive crime prevention and confident officers on the streets. They do not want a police service distracted by box-ticking exercises or ideological compliance regimes that undermine morale and operational clarity. I beg to move.
