Here’s an interesting fact that might help anyone attending a Quiz Night in their local pub: In the 637 years between 1351 and 1988 all the new crimes fill just one volume of the criminal law record, Halsbury's Statutes of England and Wales.
Here’s another interesting fact that might help also: New crimes introduced since 1989 fill up three volumes of the law record.
Since Labour came to power, over 3,000 new crimes were entered on the statute books ,though many of these were ‘slipped in’ on the say-so of quangocrats without being debated in Parliament. Now the Law Commission say that since 1989 breaches of red tape that ought to have been dealt with by civil courts have been elevated into crimes and that at least 1,500 of these should now be scrapped.
More importantly, they say that no crimes should go into the statute book without full-scale Parliamentary legislation and scrutiny by MPs.
Which is how it should have been!
