I forgot when commenting on the section to ask what is the logic for not including attachment orders to State pensions and social welfare payments? Surely it is reasonable, if the burden of attachment orders is imposed on SMEs and other businesses – and I sincerely hope that can be ironed out on Report Stage – the same logic should apply to the State and its payment sections? I am bemused by it.
