Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [Lords]

My hon. Friend refers to an ACAS-negotiated agreement. It is simply a contract, so it has to be sued on, just like any other commercial contract, in the civil court. People who believe that they have toiled through one set of proceedings and got an answer have to start again with another set in the civil court. The clause therefore provides for a much speedier process to ensure enforcement. I have an answer to my hon. Friend’s earlier question about prescribed information but I shall hand it to him, if I may. The Bill will improve access to justice, reform institutions to deliver better services to users, and deliver reforms to protect many of the most vulnerable in society. After nearly one hour, I commend it to the House.
