Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (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 absolutely right and he presages some of the remarks that I shall make later in my speech. The problem of the Bill being a protection of property measure also sits uneasily with the existing offence, which has developed over the years, of burglary in respect of a dwelling—it is set out fully in the eighth edition of the seminal work ““The Law of Theft”” by Professor Sir John Smith—for which a much more serious penalty is imposed.
