Member for Wells.
§ Mr. EmeryNo, because it is for the local weights and measures authority—which is under a statutory duty to enforce the Act—to consider the information in question and to decide whether there is evidence of an offence. If it considers that the law has been broken, it has to decide what action would be appropriate.
