Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [Lords]

I apologise, Mr. Deputy Speaker. A Third Reading third rant is not appropriate. The problems to which I have referred will have to be addressed effectively through regulations. A large area must be defined through regulations, so I hope that the Minister has listened to what has been said. She is a listening and concerned Minister, and I think that she has dealt effectively with points that have been raised. However, those points must be addressed by the regulations. I would have preferred an independent regulator to the Security Industry Authority, because the authority will probably be as much use as the community wardens in Grimsby would be if they were asked to deal with the Enron affair, British Aerospace, or a mafia problem. The authority will not be sufficiently powerful or effective. The way in which the authority develops is now in the Minister’s hands, as is the way in which bailiffs’ powers will be controlled, regulated and restrained. It is unfortunate that we are breaching the principle that an Englishman’s home is his castle, which was first breached by the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004. That is bad, because we are making the punishment a further penalty by increasing the burdens on the poor. However, the matter is now in the hands of the Minister and the regulator. My hon. and learned Friend has listened to the debates and made adjustments, so I am sure she will ensure that the regulations that will be the basis of control of the bailiffs will be as effective as the House clearly wants them to be in protecting the poor and the vulnerable. I congratulate the Minister on her handling of the Bill. It has been an education to watch its effective progress, which I hope will continue.
