Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL].

Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

I do not think so for a moment, but I want to make two points. The first is that on contact with the local authority, if it has a primary authority, the business will have every incentive to tell the authority. Businesses have been asking for a primary authority. Given the remote possibility that that has not clarified the matter completely for the Committee, perhaps I may write to the Members of the Committee with a longer clarification of this issue in good time before Report. This issue is worthy of a letter.
