London Local Authorities Bill [Lords] (By Order)

The Whip's not looking; he's slipped out of the Chamber for a second. Will the promoters of the Bill, in collaboration with Ministers, look at whether the same power for dealing with hot dog trolleys—the power to nick them if there is abuse—might apply to car salespeople who put cars on the road outside their premises? That has been a frequent problem in Rotherhithe, with firms selling second-hand vehicles that are always parked illegally on the road. They have never been effectively stopped, and it seems to me that the way to deal with it is to give the local authority the power to remove the car if it is parked illegally on the highway.
