Bournemouth Borough Council Bill [Lords]

I hope, Mr. Deputy Speaker, that as a gentleman of good character if I applied for my pedlar's certificate I would be able to get one. My hon. Friend makes a fair point. However, the problem is that this information is not available at the moment. If he looks at the Bournemouth council website, he will not be able to find out to which streets in Bournemouth the 1982 Act applies and to which it does not apply. It is a more complex issue. We have not yet got on to the penalties that will come by way of fixed penalty fines or seizures, but the consequences for a pedlar of operating unwittingly in a street in which he should not be operating can be very significant.
