Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 2 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Law (Amendment) (Protection of Property) Bill.


Criminal Law (Amendment) (Protection of Property) Bill

My hon. Friend has alighted on a very important point indeed. When Brendan Fearon sued Tony Martin for damages for the injuries that he sustained, that provoked outrage. Does my hon. Friend agree that any burglar who breaks into a property and commits a serious criminal offence should not be able to profit in a civil court?
