Norway drops begging laws

March 01 2015
Measure to tackle 'begging gangs' ditched

The government of Norway has ditched plans to ban begging across the country.

The proposed law failed to get through parliament after the opposition Centre Party dropped its previous support.

If it had gone through, reports Reuters, the law would have criminalised both begging and “cooperation” with beggars – according to the government, with the aim of tackling so-called begging gangs.
