Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [Lords]

I would like to reinforce the point about how easy it is for someone who looks like an official to appear at the door with a certificate of authorisation or what looks like an official warrant taken out of the pocket. Lots of older people, for example, open their doors to people who allege that they are from the water board, the gas board, the electricity company or whatever. The reality is that bits of paper or card do not really confer any obvious authority and they are no substitute for something that can be clearly checked at some particular place where confirmation can be established that a person with that number and name is indeed entitled to come through the door.
