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
My hon. Friend has explained the Bill’s inconsistency in respect of the approaches taken by victims of crimes against property, and by those who have been mugged in the street. However, is there not a more fundamentally offensive aspect of the Bill? Victims of crimes against their person—those who are raped in a park or assaulted in a public place, for example—would have fewer rights and less protection under the Bill than the victims of crimes against property in the household.
