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 correct, and I hope to explore that issue later. The problem is that there is no common law interpretation of those terms, and nor is there any guidance in the Bill. Nor, for that matter, was there any guidance in the Criminal Justice Act 2003, which introduced the test into civil law, and which has been prayed in aid by the Opposition as they have made their proposals today.
