Criminal Law (Amendment) (Protection of Property) Bill

My hon. Friend is right. If we are talking about the countryside, there is an interesting point that people who have limited authority to do one thing and may thus enter a place legally can become trespassers if they do something outside the extent of that authority. An example cited under the Game Act 1831 is of someone who had permission to go on to land to hunt for rabbits, but then started hunting hares. It might be splitting hairs to raise the case, but such evidence of trespass under the Game Act 1831 would presumably be evidence of trespass under the Bill if the animals in question were inside a building—we would presumably be considering battery-farmed rabbits or hares in such circumstances.
