Proceeding contribution from Janet Anderson (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

The hon. Member for North Shropshire (Mr. Paterson) has mentioned the alleged deterrent effect of the Bill. Did my hon. Friend notice that when the hon. Member for Vale of York (Miss McIntosh) introduced her Bill, she prayed in aid two tragic cases—that of Marian Bates, who was shot by a burglar, and that of the Monckton family? Does my hon. Friend agree that the hon. Member for Vale of York provided no evidence that her Bill would have prevented either of those tragedies?
