This Bill would require the government to assess how well current rules regulate debt collection and civil enforcement (bailiffs) and to report to Parliament on whether these sectors should be statutorily regulated in future. It taps into housing, economic and technology considerations by examining potential regulatory reforms to better protect people.
The bill is at the 1st Reading stage in the House of Commons. If pursued, the next step would typically be the second reading and further consideration.
