Proceeding contribution from Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 5 February 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Crime and Policing Bill.

Crime and Policing Bill

My Lords, I oppose this amendment. I have to concede that, as usual, the noble Baroness, Lady Chakrabarti, made a beguilingly attractive case for the amendment, but in essence this would be a legislative overreach. This activity is not being undertaken with impunity. We have checks and balances, although I accept they can be improved. I say to the noble Baroness, Lady Jones of Moulsecoomb, that children are used because of county lines, where children are used to move weapons and drugs.
