Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) 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]

None of us argues that every bailiff firm does bad work or does not do its job responsibly; there are some very good examples. Some of them have made representations to us, and have said clearly that they do not want more powers, in certain areas. For example, they do not want people below the level of bailiffs acting for the High Court to be given the power to restrain people physically. They say that that is not their job, and I agree with them. We should be careful about that.
