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 makes an important point. We must look at section 9 of the Theft Act later when we consider the question of building in a little more detail. We have seen examples of a number of anomalies so far but we are only scratching the surface. When we start to examine what the Theft Act says and wider case law, beyond the example that my hon. Friend provides, we will see how ridiculous the consequences of the Bill may be.
