Road Safety Bill [HL]

I have had an answer to at least some of my questions, particularly the one relating to vehicles of travellers, for example, who may not have   a fixed address. They would be subject to these regulations in the same way as anybody else who does not give an address. That is recognised. I guess that Mickey Mouse of Neverland probably would not go down frightfully well. I am not sure under what legislation enforcement authorities, and that includes the police, are entitled to take cash against a fixed penalty in this country. I asked the Minister that question early on because I hoped that he would have the answer for me. They have to be empowered to take the money and issue receipts. Perhaps the noble Lord will tell me what that legislation is, because I do not know. If it exists already, perhaps it should be referred to in the Bill. All subsection (4) of new section 90A says is that a satisfactory address is one at which,"““the constable or vehicle examiner considers it likely that it would be possible to find the person whenever necessary to do so in connection with the proceedings, fixed penalty notice or conditional offer””." It says nothing at any stage in Part 3A or under Clause 10 about officers being entitled to take money, in the form of a deposit, from people on the road. The Minister may have the answer to that; if not, perhaps he would be kind enough to write to me with the details. In addition, what will the deposit amount to? Will it be the same as a fixed penalty charge or will it amount to the maximum penalty that can be imposed by the courts? There remain a lot of questions surrounding this. The Minister may be able to answer some of them. If he cannot, I would be grateful if he could write to me before the next stage. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 34 not moved.]
