Lord Strasburger (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I am sorry, I must be missing something here. There is a provision to conduct a really draconian intervention on a traveller as they pass through an airport, but it is not on the basis of suspicion. On what basis does the constable, or whatever he or she is, choose that traveller rather than another traveller, if there is no suspicion involved?
