Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 December 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I understand that many noble Lords have concerns about links between delivery services and criminal activity. Let me be clear that the law applies to anyone and everyone in this country, including delivery drivers. While enforcement action is rightly up to our police, I am clear that anyone found to be committing criminal offences, including delivery drivers, should face the full force of the law. I will not repeat many of the arguments made in our debate in Committee on Monday, but I will highlight to the noble Lord that anyone who uses the road is subject to our traffic laws and to the Highway Code. This includes cyclists and delivery drivers.
