Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if his Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of placing the Enforcement Conduct Board on a statutory footing.
The Ministry of Justice strongly supports the creation of the Enforcement Conduct Board, which will provide independent oversight of debt enforcement firms in order to raise standards and protect vulnerable people in debt.
We have committed to review, within two years of its operation, whether it is necessary to put it on a statutory footing.
