Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Local Authorities and Transport for London (No. 2) Bill (HL).

London Local Authorities and Transport for London (No. 2) Bill [Lords]

While my hon. Friend is on the subject of skips, I am sure it has not escaped his notice that as the Bill stands, if a skip is hired out to a person who breaches the provisions of the Bill, it will be not the person who has hired the skip but its owner who is pursued by the local authority. Even though the owner may not have been the person committing the offence, they will still be pursued. They will have to go through the bureaucratic nightmare of trying to recover their costs from the person who perpetrated the offence. Does he not think that that is nonsense?
