Speaking in the House of Lords on 7 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

The first question for the Government is: do they stand by that conclusion from the previous Government, or are they minded to take the recommendation more seriously? The second point I want to make is that we are not asking them to go quite as far as the Select Committee went and bring the telcos within the embrace of possible penalties. We are simply asking the Government to prepare a report. That could be the basis of a Green Paper that then goes out for consultation. It does not go nearly as far as the Select Committee.
