Debt Collection: Local Government
Justice
Austin
Mitchell (Great Grimsby, Labour)
To ask the Secretary of State for
Justice who supervises the (a) activities of and (b) charges made
by private bailiffs' companies recovering debts owing to
local authorities; how many illegal actions by bailiffs
engaged in this work have been prosecuted in the last year for which figures are
available; and what plans he has to establish a regulator for the charges and
practices of bailiffs.
Jonathan
Djanogly (Parliamentary Under Secretary of
State (HM Courts Service and Legal Aid), Justice; Huntingdon,
Conservative)
There is no national body that supervises the activities
and charges made by private bailiffs' companies recovering
debts owing to local authorities. These activities and charges are governed by a
combination of statute, secondary legislation and the individual contract
arrangements agreed between the local authority and the bailiff company concerned. Concerns about the activities and
charges of bailiffs, acting on behalf of a local
authority, should be directed to the local authority or if appropriate, to the
court for review. There are no figures available detailing the number of
prosecutions against bailiffs for illegal action. The
Government are clear that aggressive bailiff activity is
unacceptable and are committed to bringing forward effective proposals which
protect the public and ensure that bailiff action is
proportionate. We will announce the details of these measures in due
course.
