Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Of course, as we heard in a previous group, it is estimated that there are over 100,000 war memorials across the United Kingdom, not all of them listed at grade 1, but, as my noble friend Lord De Mauley pointed out in a previous group, there is no clear definition or rationale in the Bill. Those 100,000 monuments stand sacred in almost every parish in this land, but Schedule 12 sets out just two dozen specified memorials to receive the protections proposed in Clause 122.
