Proceeding contribution from Robert Flello (Labour) 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 is very kind. He mentioned the apprehension of, say, a shoplifter—someone who has gone into a premises and stolen something. The thief may have left the premises and may be on the street outside. He would no longer be covered by the Bill. Would the security guard giving chase have to stop and think, ““I have moved from grossly disproportionate to reasonable force. Hang on a moment. Let me think back to the case law before I carry on apprehending this person.””?
