Clause 77 - Power of entry
Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill
11:15 am
Mrs Anne McIntosh (Shadow Minister, Environment and Transport; Vale of York, Conservative)
The clause relates to enabling an officer to enter premises without a warrant for the purposes of silencing a problem alarm, and it sets out the circumstances in which he may do so, provided that he does not enter by force. It prompts the question that if such an offence is carried on under clause 76 and if the person is seeking the power of entry under clause 77 without using force, how can he be identified? Will he carry any written authority?
