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
The Bill is silent on that interesting point. In those circumstances, one can only assume that the burden would shift to the defendant from the prosecution, where it is at present. That would create even more confusion. I am surprised that the Bill does not make clear whether the burden will lie on the defence or the prosecution.
