Proceeding contribution from Nick Palmer (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
I realise that my hon. Friend is in danger of running low on time, but I want to mention one issue that has yet to be stressed. The general public take separate views on the danger of excessive injury to a criminal, and on the danger of any injury to an innocent party or to someone who has committed a very minor act of trespass. Does my hon. Friend not think it important to stress that the Bill as drafted poses a risk of excessive over-reaction to someone who commits an actual offence, and of grievous harm to someone who has done no real harm?
