Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Nor, I must stress, are we dealing only with a London issue. Newspaper reports show, for example, that in Darlington there were hundreds of complaints last year about balaclavad youths on bikes riding recklessly in groups around pedestrians. It is absolutely appalling, and quite frightening, especially for the elderly and disabled.
