Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

I am grateful for the Secretary of State's openness in meeting to discuss the text. The leaflet to which he referred weakly states that if the intruder dies, the victim of the crime could be accused of"““acting with very excessive and gratuitous force and could be prosecuted.””" Let us consider the wording in new clause 6, in particular subsection (1)(b) and subsection (4). There is general agreement on both sides of the House that we need enhanced legal protection and greater clarity in the wording of the law. I submit to him, given that the wording is the same as was in my private Member's Bill, that our new clauses 8 and 9 are much clearer in that regard.
