Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 January 2026
Debate
Crime and Policing BillContribution
The other example that I want to give is one that I referred to in the dinner break business, concerning what happened to the Yazidis at the hands of Daesh. Noble Lords might say, “What’s that got to do with this Bill?” It has everything to do with it, because sanctions were imposed on those working with Daesh—that is, ISIS, Islamic State. We do not know the exact amount of frozen or criminal assets in enforcement cases and, despite being asked about that in the other place in November last year, the Government have been unable to give any clear response.
