Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

If you are an investigator with a warrant of authority under section 94, you must carry the warrant when you use the power given to you under section 93(1)(a). You must show the warrant when you first enter, and if asked, show it again later. You must give the warrant back to the Registrar when your authority to act under section 93 ends. You cannot act like you still have the warrant's authority after it has ended under section 93.
