Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Bournemouth Borough Council Bill [Lords].
Bournemouth Borough Council Bill [Lords]
We have the 1871 Act, and my hon. Friend is obviously in touch with the peddling community. If I were a pedlar who had done this for years, I cannot believe that I would think in terms of 200 metres, or whatever. I would think in terms of having, from time to time, to move on, because that is what is bred into me by my community. Are we not being far too prescriptive? Cannot we just go back to the broad interpretation that we have always had under the 1871 Act and common law?
