Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

It is perfectly possible to take sensible steps to have an entirely different and new regime that will see these matters dealt with properly and will remove the police from getting involved in matters that I do not believe they want to be involved in. But do not let us throw out the baby with the bathwater or believe that the police should not, in some circumstances but far fewer that we have now, be recording matters that are drawn to their attention where hatred is involved.
