Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 November 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

As I said at Second Reading, if the Bill is to deliver real change, we must resist continually expanding police responsibilities and instead back evidence-based, effective solutions. It is for this reason, I suspect, that some police forces have said they want guidance on the use of respect orders in relation to street homelessness. In responding to this group, can I ask the Minister to offer a clear timetable for issuing this guidance?
