Clause 71
Coroners and Justice Bill

Maria Eagle (Parliamentary Secretary, Government Equalities Office; Liverpool, Garston, Labour)
Suppose that the threat is to disable repeatedly or to destroy someone’s motor vehicle, which they use to get to work. Many poor people cannot afford to replace tyres, windscreens and wing mirrors repeatedly. The vehicle might be parked on the street overnight, and it might have been clear that no one was in it when it was being damaged, but any of us might find it difficult to cope with our car being damaged repeatedly one night after another. That would destroy some people’s lives.
