Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 November 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

My Amendment 10 is quite straightforward. We have another opportunity to attempt to get rid of the appalling non-crime hate incident fake reporting. Indeed, we had the announcement two weeks ago that the Met will no longer investigate them—great news and long overdue. But wait: the Met still intends to record them. Am I missing something here? It will not investigate them to ascertain whether they are true or not, but it will still record them as non-crime hate incidents. So tens of thousands of people could potentially have their names and reputations destroyed by false allegations that will not be investigated.
