Lord Davies of Gower (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 December 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I am grateful for that. Perhaps it would be easier to amend the original law on this, rather than introduce it in these clauses. As I said, police officers, paramedics and other emergency workers deserve a legal framework that is simple, enforceable and unambiguous, and what is before us is none of those things. Given the poor defence offered by the Government, I think this may be an issue that we have to return to on Report. For now, I beg leave to withdraw my opposition to the clause standing part of the Bill.
