New clause 42 - Powers of authorised officers executing warrants
Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Bill [Lords]

Ms Vera Baird (Redcar, Labour)
My intervention is less about the complaints process than about getting clear in my mind the scale of the powers involved. As I understand the example given by the hon. Member for Beaconsfield, we will be giving power to an enforcement officer to break down the door of a third party who has nothing to do with the case in order to serve a warrant on someone for a £40 fine.
