HC Deb 03 November 1983 vol 47 c987
7. Mr. Colvin

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he will be publishing his review of the law relating to trespass on residential properties.

The Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. David Mellor)

My right hon. and learned Friend will be announcing his conclusions on the review very shortly.

Mr. Colvin

Does my hon. Friend agree that if an offence of trespass on premises is to be created, it should offer protection to all and not to specific premises such as Buckingham palace?

Mr. Mellor

Without anticipating the statement that my right hon. and learned Friend will make shortly, I believe that there is a good deal in what my hon. Friend has said.
