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 interesting point. Properties are often protected by barbed wire, razor wire or the new material called cactus, which is very effective. There is also the old-fashioned use of broken bottles stuck in concrete on top of a wall. Those are not traps because they are obvious. There may be civil remedies if someone is injured by them, but they are certainly not traps.
