Proceeding contribution from Lord Henley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Serious Crime Bill [HL].

Serious Crime Bill [HL]

My Lords, the Minister said thatthis is not easy, and she gave us a long and detailed explanation of what might be a rather fanciful case. It almost took me back to the days when I was doing my Bar exams. The Minister will probably remember a similar case involving either rape or burglary where the chap climbed up a ladder naked except for his socks. I think the case was called Thomas. I forget the outcome, but I am sure that law students will have just as much fun with it in the future. If the noble Baroness is looking for another job in the months to come, a career lecturing in law might be for her. She can explain the possibilities of these new clauses in due course. Seriously, however, I thank the Minister for the explanation. I think that I have got it and I am grateful for that. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 48 not moved.] Clause 43 [Proving an offence under section 41]:
