Clause 113
Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [Lords]
3:15 pm
Vera Baird (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs; Redcar, Labour)
I do not want to be dragged into offering more than I realistically can offer within the confines of the Bill, just because I am a good-natured, soft liberal person. I have given very strong reassurance about clause 133, which manifestly protects people in such a situation. I rather doubt whether, within the confines of the Bill, we have any possibility of thoroughly getting to grips with all the reasoning behind the disparity that my hon. Friend the Member for Stroud set out for us. However, I will look at the matter and have a conversation with the hon. Gentleman in due course.
