Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 December 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

My proposed new clause is not a punitive measure for its own sake. It is a lever to change corporate behaviour where evidence shows that platform design, pay-by-drop models, weak onboarding and poor vehicle checks create foreseeable risks that companies can and should mitigate. The combination of legal precedent on vicarious liability and the empirical and enforcement evidence I have cited shows that companies can be held to account where their systems materially contribute to harm.
