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
This draft vigilante Bill gives me grave concern, because of the confusion that it would cause. Could my hon. Friend, with his vast experience of these matters, give me some guidance as to what would happen on a building site that had on-site security? If some of the buildings were partly completed and some were not, would the security guard be acting within the law under this vigilante Bill if he used disproportionate force when he caught someone trying to steal things from the site?
