Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will make it a legal requirement for court-appointed bailiffs to wear a functioning body camera when executing warrants at residential properties.

The Government does not have any plans to make it a legal requirement for court appointed enforcement agents to wear a functioning body camera when executing warrants at residential properties.

The Government will launch a call for evidence shortly to evaluate the enforcement agent reforms introduced by the Tribunals, Court and Enforcement Act 2007. Evidence received from the call for evidence will be used to inform our assessment of the current regulation of the industry, and options for further reform.
