I will intervene. As I understand it, ““more than one occasion”” means twice or more. That is effectively a duty on the ERO to arrange that through the canvasser. If we have ““one or more occasion””, then the ERO might say, ““Well, we only have to knock once””. It might be that, for all sorts of reasons, the local authority has a policy not to knock twice. The duty is at least once, but not necessarily more than once. That is what the noble Lord’s amendment means to me. If I am misreading this, then please tell me, but that is what it says. I think that even though the original words imply that you have to knock at least twice, both arrangements are wrong and we should consider the whole sentence again.
