Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I want to begin by acknowledging the importance of addressing language that may incite violence or hatred. The Government recognise the sensitivity of this issue, particularly in light of the attacks against Jewish communities both in Manchester and on Bondi Beach in recent months. My noble friend’s amendment seeks to create a new offence for using or displaying terms that promote or incite a holy or religious war or intifada.
