Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 December 2025

Debate

Sentencing Bill

Contribution

Likewise, Amendments 62, 67 and 73 seek to ensure that the appropriate supervising authority enforces the relevant community requirement imposed by the courts. The principle here is straightforward: conditions that are not enforced are not conditions at all; they are simply lip service that sounds good and reassuring in this Chamber but means nothing to the victims who meet their offender in the pub or the shopkeeper who finds the man who robbed him standing outside his door in breach of a supposed restriction zone.
