Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Finally, Amendment 397B is a drafting amendment that concerns the timing of the Secretary of State’s first annual report. We support the principle behind the annual report, which will play a vital role in reassuring the public that these powers are not being misused. It will enable regular, proper parliamentary scrutiny and ensure that access to driver information is both effective in tackling crime and not exploited or allowed to drift beyond its intended purpose.
