Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL]

I thought we had drawn Clause 89 quite tightly, because it lists the specific information. It is not our intention to ask for financial information, it is not about assets and it certainly does not allow for fishing expeditions. We are not designating all government departments; one department will be designated. I made the point in my earlier remarks that we recognise that changes in government machinery sometimes affect things. Clause 90 deals with other people from whom we can ask for other information; for example, banks or credit reference agencies. My view is that we have drawn this in precisely the way we wanted, referring to specific information that government departments would have but no one else would. The courts would request that information—no one else.
