Criminal Law (Amendment) (Protection of Property) Bill
That is right. There is a real risk of an arms race. That takes us back to the argument, which is outside the scope of today’s proceedings, about whether we should arm the police. It is traditionally argued that if we arm the police we are likely make it more probable that criminals will also be armed.
