Clause 8 - Licences to engage in licensable conduct
Private Security Industry Bill [Lords]
2:30 pm
Mr John Bercow (Buckingham, Conservative)
I will resist any temptation to lock horns on behalf of the right hon. Member for Walsall, South, because that would be presumptuous. He is well able to fight his own battles, and no doubt he will continue to do so at every opportunity.
Although there is some logic and wisdom in what the Minister is saying, he may wish to entertain the possibility that, for people at the start of their careers who are very low-paid or who have been through periods of not working at all, the level of the fee could be burdensome. Is he willing to consider a concessionary rate for such people and for those who will be engaged in such work on a part-time basis?
