Manchester City Council Bill [Lords](By Order)

I am reasonably grateful for that intervention. If the hon. Gentleman could promise me that he will persuade my hon. Friend the Minister to agree to what I am proposing before the end of today, I would cheerfully go along with him. In the short term, however, I must keep my promise to the beleaguered citizens of the city of Manchester and its good traders—whether they are shop traders, street traders or pedlars—that we will introduce proper regulation to deal with rogues by pursuing the private Bill before us.
