To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the Answer of 25 June 2019 to Question 265611 on Debt Collection, what his timescale is for responding to his Department's Review of enforcement agent (bailiff) reforms: call for evidence, published in November 2018; and what plans he has to issue new guidelines on the conduct of enforcement officers.
