Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

My noble friend Lord Black has already referenced the compromises and the difficulties for investigation of crimes if the press are not able to report freely. I endorse and support all those; I will not repeat them. Presumptions about reporting matter. They signal to the public Parliament’s view of where the balance should lie, and they shape outcomes and public perception for the reasons the noble Lord gave and many others that I am sure noble Lords sitting here are already thinking about.
