Justice written question – answered at on 5 March 2012.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice whether he plans to make trespassing a criminal offence.
There is already an offence of aggravated trespass under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. The Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill includes provision to criminalise squatting in residential buildings. We have no plans to criminalise other forms of trespass.
