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

Let us consider the example given earlier of an estranged husband returning to the matrimonial home, which he still half owns. He might not be entering as a trespasser and may have no intention of committing a burglary of any kind. None the less, in an altercation he might end up offering violence against his wife, and at that point it might be necessary for her to offer violence in return. Of course, this Bill would not protect her in any sense.
