Enforcement: Regulation

Asked by Lee PitcherLabourMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 22 June 2026UIN 9450

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether his Department has submitted proposals relating to the statutory regulation of the enforcement sector for inclusion in the next King’s Speech.

Answered by Sarah Sackman

The Government supports the work of the Enforcement Conduct Board to make sure anyone facing enforcement action is treated properly. Following our consultation about statutory independent regulation of the sector, we have worked on proposals to ensure fair treatment for people in debt.

The Government is committed to tackling rogue bailiffs and we will bring forward legislation soon as soon as parliamentary time allows.
