Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

I take the point. I think that I made an error in saying that the database would, as it were, be run by local authorities. The LBRO’s database is the important thing here. But we should not forget that the enforcing local authority has a role, too. The local authority in which the noble Viscount’s public house is to be found will be the enforcing authority for that local authority district. The issue is whether the primary authority in that area of business—breweries—will have a role in ensuring that the enforcing authority carries out its enforcement in accordance with the guidance it may have received. The LBRO’s database will determine whether the primary authority has a role or not.
