Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

The only argument I have heard from government against this approach is about the administrative burden should it apply to children who die as babies or of childhood illness, but an exemption could surely be made. Meanwhile, making the preservation automatic, offering a template of what information should be preserved and publicising that fact is the minimum we can do for parents whose children have been murdered or manipulated into extreme challenges or commit suicide as a result of online anxiety.
