Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

What a silver lining it is to the political rain cloud of the Government that it seems we are pushing at an open door with this amendment and the Government are minded to scrap this regime, which has done so much—as we have heard in brilliant speeches—to frustrate the policing effect sought by the public from police forces and, generally, to reduce confidence in freedom of speech in the public square in this country.
