Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL]

There are a lot of technical bits and pieces to do with who comes under which bit of this Bill, in what way and how the thing works in practice. I would prefer to deal with that by letter, or rather by e-mail if the noble Baroness is happy to correspond on it. On the major question of where we are going on regulation, I am delighted by what the noble Baroness says. I know that in government these things are never easy. I hope that she has a very good Christmas where that is concerned. I shall be looking forward to my rather late present some time in January. It is a provision which I very much hope the Chamber will wish to hold the Government to. We want to have a properly regulated system that works well. That view is very widely supported—by the most vocal critics of bailiffs, the bailiffs and everybody in between. I know that there are always complications in making these things happen, but there is an enormous amount of good will and desire on all sides that it should happen. I very much hope that the Bill will leave this House either with an amendment to make clear its support for that or with an expression of the Government’s clear intention that that is the direction they are going in.
