Proceeding contribution from Jim Dowd (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

If I have understood my hon. Friend’s definition of a building, which concerns the building’s degree of permanence, I imagine that a cave would not be a building, but what about a tunnel that has been built and is a permanent structure? I mention that point because the Bill refers to the prevention of crime in general rather than just crime against persons or property. Criminal action on the permanent way is a great headache for the railway authorities. Would the railway authorities have powers under the Bill?
