Details

The Crime and Policing Bill aims to introduce new offences to criminalise articles for use in serious crime.

The Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC) gave a ‘green’ rating to the options assessment for the bill on 10 February 2024. This means that we considered it to be fit for purpose based on our scrutiny of the evidence and analysis supporting the case for why regulation is necessary. 

The RPC’s opinion refers to the evidence and analysis presented in the options assessment, not the policy itself.
