Jonathan Djanogly questions the Government on whether the cost bar for personal injury claims is to raise from £1,000 to £5,000.

Mr Jonathan Djanogly (Huntingdon) (Con)

There seem to be conflicting reports on the Government’s position on raising the cost bar for personal injury claims from £1,000 to £5,000. I would be grateful to hear what the Government’s position is.

Sir Oliver Heald

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for raising that important point. The Government have been looking at this issue. I do not think we have made a formal announcement on it yet, and therefore I will write to him giving him the absolute latest position.
