Clause 41 - Procedure in relation to requirements
Consumer Credit Bill
11:45 am
James Brokenshire (Hornchurch, Conservative)
I have another quick question. The Minister mentioned that the clause reflects other drafting in the 1974 Act relating to the appeals structure. I draw the Minister’s attention to clause 32, which refers to revocation. In many ways, this clause follows the procedure on revocation of a licence. In clause 32 it says that a revocation shall not take effect before the end of the appeal period. Clearly, that protection is not built in here, and a requirement could be set and enforced even before the appeal had taken place. Would the Minister explain why that timing period has not been allowed for in this provision, while it is allowed if there is an appeal under section 32 of the Act?
