Subject to subsection (2), the holder of a street trading licence or a temporary licence may employ any other person to assist him in the conduct of his business without a further licence being required.

Nothing in subsection (1) shall prejudice Article 135(4) of the Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 (NI 2) (children not to engage in or be employed in street trading).

If any person employed by a licence holder fails to comply with the conditions specified in the street trading licence or temporary licence held by his employer, such failure shall also be deemed to be a failure by the licence holder.

Subsection (3) shall have effect whether or not the licence holder is present at the time of the failure.
