Proceeding contribution from Baroness Gardner of Parkes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 5 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.
Localism Bill
I would like to ask a question about this amendment, which I am not entirely clear about. I have been told recently by people who have had court possession orders and eviction notices served on them that that does not really put them out of anything until the bailiffs come in. What is the position if the court grants a possession order but the bailiffs have not been instructed? I understand that there is usually quite a time lag between those two events and that the housing benefit comes through in that time, particularly when it has been delayed. How would that work in relation to those two different procedures?
