Recommendation 12

12 Paragraph: 53

Clearly landowners have a right to ask people to leave their property.

Conclusion
Clearly landowners have a right to ask people to leave their property. However, we propose an amendment to the Bill so that in order for this criminal offence to be committed, it would be due to a failure to comply with a request from a police officer asking unauthorised occupiers to leave private land.
