Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 November 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Finally, my last proposed new clause, in Amendment 214E, is a key provision, but I can be relatively brief. I have outlined some recent horrific killings with machetes and the dramatic increase in their use, leading some commentators to say that London is awash with machete attacks. Looking at the numbers, the convictions and the photos we have seen, I, unfortunately, do not think anyone can say that that is an exaggeration.
