Proceeding contribution from Bishop of Chichester (Bishops (affiliation)) in the House of Lords on Monday, 6 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill.

Protection of Freedoms Bill

My Lords, from these Benches, I want very briefly to give my whole-hearted support to this amendment. In the year from 2010-11 thefts from churches went up by one-third, resulting in a loss to the church of £4.5 million in that one year alone. I want to speak particularly because of the importance of rewriting the right of entry. Without that being done, the means of enforcing the otherwise noble aspirations about cash-free and limitless tariff cannot be enforced. That is why the right of entry is extremely important.
