Small Claims (Courts)

: I have set out what I think the considerations are. I have explained that we are deliberating about the matter, that we are considering it and that we are receiving representations. The hon. Gentleman would not want us to act precipitately. It is important and in due course, as soon as we can, we will come forward sensibly and set out our proposals. We will continue to listen to hon. Members' comments about the day-by-day processes and where we can improve them, and to work harder to make a good system, run by dedicated people, even better.
