Police Fees For Return Of Stolen Property

EDM number 1953 in 2005-06, proposed by Bob Spink on 30/03/2006.

That this House believes it is right to support the victims of crime and therefore is deeply concerned that the Home Secretary has prescribed in law that a substantial fee must be paid by victims of theft of vehicles and other property effectively to the police, before they can obtain back their property; notes that in some cases the fee charged to victims of crime by the police is in excess of the value of the property to be returned; and calls on the Government to accept the principle that society should support victims of crime, rather than penalising them, and change this pernicious rule.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
