The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will introduce provisions similar to those in the Tribunal, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 to establish enforcement restriction orders.
The answer
It is not currently our intention to introduce provisions similar to those proposed in the Tribunal, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007.
Scottish debtors have had access to provisions which offer them protection against enforcement of debt by their creditors, since the introduction of the Debt Arrangement Scheme in November 2004. While a debt is being paid under the Debt Arrangement Scheme creditors cannot petition for the debtor''s bankruptcy and cannot enforce diligence. The Debt Arrangement Scheme also provides a moratorium against diligence for up to six weeks if a debtor registers their intention to pay their debts under Debt Arrangement Scheme.
I intend to introduce regulations to improve access to the Debt Arrangement Scheme during this Parliament.
