Lord Goddard of Stockport (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 November 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

My Lords, I have great sympathy with some of the sentiment of the amendments. However, as usual, they put the price—the fines—up but miss the elephant in the room. Who is going to do the work to collect the fines, to see the dog walker that the noble Lord, Lord Blencathra, is looking for, and to be on every train and street corner? That is the issue we have with these amendments.
