Proceeding contribution from Robert Flello (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
A number of my constituents enjoy the happy hobby of caravanning, and my hon. Friend has mentioned caravans. At the moment, if a caravan sits in the front garden of a property in my constituency and somebody tries to take or burgle it, the householders can rightly and legitimately use reasonable force to stop them. What would the situation be under this proposed vigilante Bill? Would a caravan count as a building? What if the householder uses their caravan only once a year? Where would the Bill leave my constituents?
