On 21st January 2026, the Bishop of Manchester asked a clarifying question on changes to the age of criminal responsibility in Sweden during a discussion on the age of criminal responsibility in England and Wales
The Lord Bishop of Manchester: My Lords, the Minister referred a few moments ago to Sweden lowering its age below 15. I have done a quick google check, and as far as I can understand, it has lowered it to 14, which is rather different from 10. Can she confirm that that is correct?
Baroness Levitt (Lab, MoJ): I thank the right reverend Prelate. I think it is from 15 to 13.
