Baroness Butler-Sloss (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I find it extraordinary that glorification of terrorism can be supported in any way; it just seems abhorrent. In relation to Amendment 447, I am not entirely objecting to the police arresting people, because they may well arrest people when they are not sure, but if there be a great many people whom the police would recognise as not likely to be supporting terrorism as such, I hope that those people would be released pretty quickly from the police station.
