Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

New Section 11ZB(3) to be inserted by Clause 82 provides the perfect escape clause for such a defendant and is unworthy of the Bill. We support the proposals in Amendment 289. I am mindful of the argument from the noble Lord, Lord Faulks, for why Clause 82 should not stand part and keen to see something that will work in law.
