Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 January 2026
Debate
Crime and Policing BillContribution
On Amendment 486C from my noble friend Lord Mendelsohn, again, I understand the motivation behind it, but I respectfully submit that we should not be seeking to fetter the operational independence of the DPP in the way that his amendment would. However, I assure my noble friend that the CPS takes all hate crime extremely seriously, including that motivated by antisemitism, and has prosecutors in place specifically to prosecute such offences.
