Law on protecting households remains unchanged

/noticias.info/ The 'reasonable force' law on defending the home is 'sound' and will not be amended, Home Secretary Charles Clarke has announced.

In a written Ministerial statement he accepted that the law on self defence needed greater explanation.

Information will be published soon which spells out what homeowners are allowed to do within the law to protect their homes.

Mr Clarke added:

"Concerns have been raised about the ability of householders to use reasonable force to defend themselves, their families, their homes and their property. After consultation I have concluded that the current law is sound but needs to be better explained to all concerned.

"I have come to the conclusion that this guidance and clarification will ensure that the current law is properly understood and implemented; and that therefore no change in the law is required."
