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 the Member for Tooting is right. What about a shoot-out in the staircase in the common area of a tower block—a not uncommon location for drug dealing or, for that matter, a crack house? Machine Gun Kelly could stand outside the lift shaft to mow his opponent down. It would be perfectly legal for each of them to use disproportionate force against the other in a fight over a drugs cache or money, which is surely an unintentional consequence of the Bill.
