I know that the hon. Lady's heart is in the right place and that we are trying to achieve something good with this Bill, but it is riddled with holes and exemptions. I foresee a scenario in which a person gets a ticket from one of these companies and the DVLA then provides that person's address to the ticketing company, which then applies for a bailiff's warrant in a distant court, and a bailiff then turns up and takes the person's car. With the best will in the world, ringing up trading standards or the police will not help. If these companies cannot get you one way they will get you another way, and bailiffs' warrants on vehicles will be in use.
