Proceeding contribution from Lord Khan of Tooting (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. Gentleman’s justification in relation to lack of certainty is that the Attorney-General would be the arbiter of what is grossly disproportionate. If so—and that is the logic, as I understand it—why did he and his colleagues find it so offensive for the Attorney-General to be the arbiter of incitement to religious hatred? In that case, he argued that people would not know how far they could go. Similarly, in this case, a householder would not know how far he or she could go.
