Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Amendment 295BH provides a definition of what it is to take an intimate image. It uses the definition of “taking” from the Parliament of Victoria in Australia, which uses the word “capturing” in order to bring screen- shotting into scope. The Law Commission recommended that screenshotting should be in scope of the taking offence for cases where a person has consented to being in an intimate state on a video call but has not consented to the image being captured.
