Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I note the point from the noble Lord, Lord Faulks, that schools or bodies are often the ones sued, but here lies the exact same problem. We know from experience— I will come to this in a later amendment—that many people do not report the abuse they suffered as a child until they are in their 30s, so there is a very long gap before justice can be sought.
