Do you have any bull semen in your house? Does your fridge have the wrong energy rating?

This Labour government has extended the powers of various state officials to enter our houses and the gorgeous Emily Nomates has a list that she has extracted from a Caroline Spelman article.

Caroline Spelman pledges:

'Now the Conservatives plan to again protect the privacy and liberty of homeowners by taking the following actions:

* All powers of entry inside homes by state officials would require a magistrates’ warrant. These restrictions will apply to all quangos, departments and agencies which are not specified law enforcement bodies or emergency services.
* New statutory guidance will stop magistrates giving consent for entering inside a home unless a serious criminal offence was suspected of being committed, or if there was a clear threat to public safety. The provisions would not apply to illegally occupied sites (e.g. squatters, travellers) or to long-term vacant property (e.g. rundown, boarded up properties).
* The powers of the Valuation Office Agency to enter homes for council tax valuations will be abolished outright, as will town hall powers to seize and spy on people’s bins. Labour plans to give bailiffs powers of forced entry into homes to collect civil debts will be revoked.'

That's the choice Labour totalitarianism or Conservative freedom.
