Proceeding contribution from Lord Khan of Tooting (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 my hon. Friend is suggesting that ““Archbold”” should be compulsive reading for all citizens, I second that idea. He referred to the fact that, once a defendant raises the issue of self-defence, the burden shifts to the prosecution to prove otherwise. What will the position be in the new context if the Bill, God forbid, is ever passed?
