Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 November 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Those are my amendments. I turn at the end to the issue of delivering pointed items and weapons by post. One of the indirect consequences of some of the legislation passed with good intent over the past few years is that more and more restrictions have been placed on the delivery—quite properly—of these items by post, usually by courier. This means that the courier on delivery has to do far more; this Act expects more in proving age and authenticating that whoever made the order is the same person to whom the delivery is made.
