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
My hon. Friend gave figures for the decreasing number of burglaries in the past 20 years. Last year, there were 943,000 burglaries, which is the lowest figure for 20 years. There have been approximately 10 million burglaries in the past 15 years, but there have been only seven cases in which a householder has been prosecuted for defending himself against an intruder. Does that not confirm that the CPS is applying the guidance that he cited correctly?
