Clause 104
Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [Lords]
2:45 pm
Simon Hughes (Shadow Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs & Shadow Attorney General, Constitutional Affairs; North Southwark and Bermondsey, Liberal Democrat)
We support the amendment. I can understand that, in a free market economy, it could be left to anyone to run such a scheme, but there is benefit in having official trade-marked, branded kitemark schemes. Given our long debates about regulation bailiffs and the Security Industry Authority in respect of bouncers and security outside pubs and clubs, it would be sensible to think of such matters now and not wake up only after the Bill is enacted. I hope that the Minister will be sympathetic to my argument.
