§ Mr. Peter Mandelson (Hartlepool)I beg leave to present a petition signed by 25,000 of my constituents, requesting urgent action to curb the crime of taking and using cars without the owners' consent, which has resulted in injury and death in our town. It states that the petitioners are
outraged by the death of Neil Wright caused by joyriders and youths who take vehicles without the owners' consent.They feel that tougher penalties must be introducedto prevent further death and tragedy.The law in general must be reassessed. I hope that urgent consideration will be given to the petition.
