Speaking in the House of Lords on 7 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

In his follow-up letter to the committee, Commander Conway said that device-level security and activation locks—the protective measures favoured by smartphone providers—are not defeating what has become an organised criminal activity. This is partly because these measures depend on purchasers selecting these options, which they find it difficult to do or do not want to do for good, wider reasons, such as the need to keep GPS active.
