Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lucy Frazer and Bim Afolami

Tuesday 13th November 2018 Commons Chamber

[Lucy Frazer]

I know that the hon. Lady cares deeply about the matters under discussion and was quoted this morning in relation to them. I recently met Peter Tutton, who is head of policy at StepChange. He made the point about independent regulation and we will consider it in due course.

[Bim Afolami (Hitchin and Harpenden) (Con)]

What was the outcome of the review of the implementation of the bailiff reforms?

[Lucy Frazer]

We reviewed them recently and made a number of proposals to protect vulnerable people. Interestingly, although it criticises enforcement, the Citizens Advice report, which came out this morning, says that the changes we made in 2014 were largely positive.
