London Local Authorities Bill [Lords]

The answer to my hon. Friend's second question is yes. As for what uniform would be appropriate, I think that there is much to be said for requiring the accredited people to wear bowler hats, because they could be easily identified. People would know when an accredited person was approaching, and would be able to scarper. There is a lot of common sense in that suggestion from my hon. Friend. A better solution, however, would be not allowing the Bill to extend the power to accredited persons in the first place. Amendment 8 mirrors amendment 5, again proposing the insertion after the word ““payable”” the words"““by the person being served””." I do not think that I need go into it further.
