Mr Speaker, may I share in your remarks about PC Palmer and pay tribute to him and his work in this House?

As chair of the all-party parliamentary group on debt and personal finance, Yvonne Fovargue is campaigning hard on this important issue, and she is right that bailiffs are not operating as they should in some areas. I was pleased to have the opportunity to meet with Sarah Jones and her constituents, the Rogers family, who sadly lost Jerome as a result of and following some action by bailiffs. We intend to launch a call for evidence shortly to evaluate our most recent bailiff reforms.
