Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 January 2026

Debate

Sentencing Bill

Contribution

In the event that, when the Minister responds, he decides not to accept these amendments, what the Domestic Abuse Commissioner is particularly keen to try to put in place—and I think the Minister has indicated he would be very open to this—is a very close working relationship to ensure that all the knowledge and experience that she and her staff have can be put at the disposal of the Minister, his team and the Probation Service to try to upskill the knowledge that is required to effectively risk assess some of these difficult and very devious perpetrators.
