Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 December 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

With a change of Government and with the noble Lord, Lord Kennedy of Southwark, in the position that he now enjoys, I hope the Government will take the opportunity offered by this amendment to legislate and to fill a serious gap in the criminal law. France, Belgium and Luxembourg have legislation criminalising this behaviour, and there is simply no reason not to follow their example here.
