Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 February 2025

Debate

Regulation of the Bailiff Sector

Contribution

I commend the hon. Gentleman for securing a debate on this critical issue. There has been a rise in television programming showing people at their lowest being evicted or having their possessions repossessed. Often, we see the despair of ordinary people, and the bailiffs sometimes show a lack of compassion that should not be the standard. Does he agree that kindness and a basic level of respect have to be the foundation? To back that up—he is right—we need the legislation.
