Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 14 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL].


Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL]

That includes that of my ancestors, I am glad to say. That reinforces the point behind one of the other amendments tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Thomas; namely, that the bailiff must present something when he appears that gives the debtor a very clear understanding of what will happen and the circumstances in which his premises may be broken into forcibly so that the bailiff may re-inspect his goods or whatever. That is the sort of thing that must be made clear to a debtor so that he knows exactly where he stands and what he is in for. I would be grateful for some correspondence from the Minister on the technical aspects of Amendment No. 87 and the reflections later in the Bill, to which I have not tabled amendments but which I talked about. It is not a matter that will run well in the format of Report, so I should be most grateful if we can have sorted that out between us before then. Otherwise, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 85 to 91 not moved.]
