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 correct. Mr. Evans says it all. We heard earlier the hon. Member for Newark quoting a burglar supporting the Bill. He had been shot in the buttocks. Mr. Evans, the victim of the attack, was saying that the existing law is correct and that police behaviour was correct in investigating him. He was not even prosecuted, because it was felt that he had responded with reasonable force.
