Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the adequacy of legislation regulating street trading in England.
This question was answered on 23rd November 2017
The rules relating to the licensing of street traders give local authorities the discretion to decide how to regulate street trading in their own area. The Government does not issue guidance to local authorities on this matter. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy does not currently have plans to assess or amend this legislation.
