Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I am sorry to say this, but that is in no small part due to the major scandals of recent years. It is now nearly five years since Sarah Everard was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a serving police officer, and now nearly three years since our esteemed colleague, the noble Baroness, Lady Casey of Blackstock, wrote her report for the Metropolitan Police. Yet, as I say, I rarely see a new measure before the House suggesting ways of improving confidence, so that is what these two probing amendments are aimed at addressing.
