To ask the Secretary of State for Justice if he will implement (a) the certification procedures for bailiffs and (b) the taking control of goods provisions of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007; and if he will make a statement. (188633)

My Department remains committed to implementing (a) the certification procedures for bailiffs and (b) the taking control of goods contained in the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007.

To implement these provisions, underpinning rules and regulations will be required. A scoping exercise has now commenced to determine the development of these with the results informing the timetable for consultation and implementation. We expect this timetable to be completed by May 2008.
