Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL].

Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [Lords]

I suggest that the police should be informed. There was a situation involving one of my constituents in which someone, who rejoiced in the alias ““Mr. Colorado””, showed up and effectively stole a digging machine, which was not the subject of court proceedings. The owner of the digging machine called the police, who said, ““This is a bailiff. You must let him have it.”” Neither the digging machine nor Mr. Colorado have been seen again, and my constituent came to see me because, unsurprisingly, he had had a barney with the police officers who allowed that rogue to disappear with his digging machine. Is it possible to let the police know about the proper certification procedure, to ensure that that does not happen again?
