Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Marie Rimmer and Lucy Frazer

Tuesday 9th October 2018 Commons Chamber

[Ms Marie Rimmer (St Helens South and Whiston) (Lab)]

T2. Last year, my constituency had the third highest rate in the country of complaints against bailiffs. Since 2014-15, Citizens Advice has seen a 74% increase in people seeking help with how to complain about bailiffs. Will the Minister commit to exploring the need for an effective mechanism, as well as the independent regulator, for registering complaints against bailiffs?

[Lucy Frazer]

As I mentioned, we are looking into this, and we will, I hope, very shortly launch our call for evidence, which will look at a number of issues.
