Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 November 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

As well as the bad orphanages and bad practices, there are also the good ones, and I have been honoured to visit some of them. Yet the bad practice creates a stigma against the whole sector. Therefore, I support this amendment because if we can drive out the exploitative orphanages, maybe then the good orphanages—which do sterling work, often in very difficult circumstances with very limited finances—can get on with doing the job and raising the money they need from around the world to continue their excellent work.
