Bailiffs (Licensing) Bill [HL]

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill requires bailiffs (people who collect debts or enforce court orders) to obtain a government license before they can work. It aims to protect the public by setting standards for how bailiffs should behave and giving them proper oversight, rather than allowing anyone to work as a bailiff without checks.

Presented by Lord Lucas.
