My hon. Friend mentioned British pedlars, but I would like him to consider the question of European pedlars. Tamworth has a vibrant farmers market; people from Spain, Germany and France go there to sell their wares. The Bill is""for the better control of street trading in the city of Nottingham.""
That reminds me of the quotation from T.S. Eliot:""Between the idea""And the reality…""Falls the Shadow"."
An idea can be great, but ensuring that it works properly in reality can be very difficult. If we pass this legislation, I want to make sure that it does not impinge on those who rightly come to Britain from Paris, Madrid and Munich—
