A Bill to confer further powers on local authorities for the regulation of street trading by pedlars; and for connected purposes
<p>The Bill does not outlaw peddling but would confer further powers on local authorities in England and Wales to enable them to regulate street trading by pedlars.</p><p>It would transfer the regulation of pedlars from the police to local authority officers, who would be able to take action against unlawful pedlars and to seize goods.</p><p>Pedlars who sell their goods 'door to door' outside town centres would still be able to operate.</p>
