LEGAL AID, SENTENCING AND PUNISHMENT OF OFFENDERS BILL - REPORT 5TH DAY

20 March 2012: Lord Faulkner of Worcester, in moving amendment 156D:

"My Lords, this has been quite a long journey. I first asked an Oral Question on 3 October last year, arguing the case for cashless transactions and the necessity of amending the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 1964. On 10 November, in a Remembrance Day debate initiated by the noble Lord, Lord Selkirk, a number of noble Lords, including me, spoke about the despicable theft of war memorials for their scrap metal value."
