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

My hon. Friend might recall that the right hon. Member for West Dorset (Mr. Letwin) invited a gentleman into his home at 2 o’clock one morning because the man knocked on the door and said that he needed to use the toilet. Even such an esteemed figure as the right hon. Gentleman might not have fully understood the nature of trespass. If the Bill came into law, he thus might not fully understand the precise degree of force that he could use.
