Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill

Debate between Baroness Noakes and Baroness Williams of Trafford

Lords Hansard - part one & Committee stage
Monday 1st November 2021 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)]

I am simply pointing out that the Home Secretary has been in touch with the College of Policing to see if this issue can be improved and reformed further. I was saying, “Let’s count nothing in and nothing out.” I hope that my noble friends Lord Moylan and Lord Forsyth of Drumlean will take comfort in my right honourable friend the Home Secretary having identified a problem for which she is seeking a solution.

There will be more to be said in the coming months, but I hope that for now I have said enough to reassure my noble friend Lord Moylan and that he will see fit to withdraw his amendment.

[Baroness Noakes (Con)]

My Lords, my noble friend invited the House to wait and see. Can she give us some idea of how long that wait might be?

[Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)]

I can certainly promise my noble friend and noble Lords who have been involved in the debate this afternoon that I will go back and see if I can put a timeframe on it.
