Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (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
I think I agree with my hon. Friend the Member for Hendon (Mr. Dismore) rather than my hon. Friend the Member for Tooting (Mr. Khan) on that point. However, the point surely is that in using the terms ““proportionate”” or ““disproportionate””, we do not ascertain what the response would be proportionate or disproportionate to. Is it proportionate or disproportionate to the amount of fear felt by an individual, or to the actual force used, or to the force that might possibly have been used? Surely that is a problem in the Bill.
