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


Metal Theft

St Mary's Church in Erdington has been robbed four times of the lead on its roof. Does the hon. Lady agree with a parishioner of that fine church who said that it is not until such time as the police have power to put out of business rogue scrap metal merchants that we shall see an end to this scandalous trade?
