Proceeding contribution from Mike Freer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Local Authorities Bill [Lords] (By Order).


London Local Authorities Bill [Lords] (By Order)

It is for the Government to decide whether they wish to give that general power to the police. The difficulty here is that, especially with regard to authorised officers such as civil enforcement officers, there is a gap in the legislation. London councils wish to plug that gap. If my hon. Friend wishes to push, through the Backbench Business Committee or other channels, for the Government to pursue this, I will wish him well and support him. However, we have a loophole in London that needs to be addressed.
