Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I am deeply ashamed that even on my side of the House, people who associate themselves with the rights of workers to be able to work inside communities that are trying to express themselves can be intimidated by people. Giving this discretion to the police, who have had to experience this for a long period of time, is a very proportionate measure. I hope that the Government keep firm in rejecting the accounts that have been given by others as to why this needs any change.
