§ Lord Phillips of Sudburyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Which local authorities have adopted the model regulations contained in the Charitable Collections (Transitional Provisions) Order 1972. [HL4263]
§ Baroness Scotland of AsthalLocal authorities in England and Wales currently have the power, but not the duty, to create licensing schemes for street collections under the Charitable Collections (Transitional Provisions) Order 1974. Comprehensive records are not maintained centrally and it would only be possible to obtain this information at disproportionate cost. However, it is estimated that at present some 80 per cent of the 410 local licensing authorities have street collection regulations in place.
