Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

The reason for including them in the Crime and Policing Bill is that they were originally introduced as part of the Prevent programme by the then Conservative Government under the noble Lord, Lord Cameron. Youth diversion orders are designed to draw people away from different kinds of crime, including terrorism, and education will be part of that strategy. It would be helpful as part of that strategy to teach them to understand the fundamental values on which our life together is founded.
