Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 November 2025
Debate
Crime and Policing BillContribution
55C: Clause 18, page 22, line 24, leave out “an amount not exceeding £60,000” and insert “a minimum of 500% of the value of the illegal goods advertised”
Member’s explanatory statement
A fine is based on a judgement of the seriousness of the crime and is subjective. My amendment ensures that the penalty is based on the actual value of the illegal knives and the profits from their sale.
