Proceeding contribution from Heather Wheeler (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 February 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Metal Theft.


Metal Theft

My hon. Friend makes a good point. There are voluntary agreements, but the difficulty is when cables have been stolen, or great big metal electricity boxes—substations. I do not know how on earth people manage to steal these things without anybody noticing.
