The Desecration of War Memorials Bill is becoming law.
The law will scrap the current rule that limits jail terms to a maximum of only three months if under £5,000 worth of damage is caused.
Instead, it means those who damage our memorials will face up to 10 years in jail and/or a fine of up to £2,500 regardless of the value of the damage to a memorial.
Any damage to war memorials insults the memory of those who fought and died for us. I believe they are a good way that we can ensure we never forget the sacrifice, bravery, and courage so many displayed to give us our today.
