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


Metal Theft

My hon. Friend mentioned catalytic converters, which reminds me of a case in Darlington. The owners of Bathroom World—bathroom fitters—had the catalytic converter stolen from their van, resulting in their being unable to fulfil orders and spending £3,000 to replace a piece of metal that was worth just a couple of hundred pounds. There are often consequences beyond the missing piece of equipment itself.
