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 is right. All that one can say to police officers in those circumstances is that they should use their common sense, and use the reasonable force that they consider necessary to apprehend the offender. Ultimately, I suspect that that is the advice that we would all have to give to householders, or anybody else, even if the Bill were passed. To do anything else would still lead to the grey areas mentioned by my hon. Friend the Member for Broxtowe.
