Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 November 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I understand the concerns raised and I share many of them. The proposals tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Neville-Rolfe, would ensure that delivery drivers received the same protection as their colleagues in the physical store, and this can only be right. We on these Benches have repeatedly urged the Government to follow the Scottish example on this and to extend the meaning of “retail worker” to cover delivery drivers, because they deserve equal protection and should not be left exposed.
