Criminal Law (Amendment) (Protection of Property) Bill

My hon. Friend makes an interesting point. Going back to the discussion that I had earlier with my hon. Friend the Member for Lewisham, West (Jim Dowd), it could be argued whether it was or was not a building, depending on whereabouts on the underground it took place. The second example is the case of Mr. Carrera. In May 1991, he was charged with murder after he was attacked with a knife by a drunken drug mugger. He turned the weapon on his assailant. He was acquitted under the present law of reasonable force.
