Ministry of Defence: Civil Proceedings
(asked on 5th February 2026) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, to provide the annual cost of the contract with the Davies Group for the last 5 years for managing all MOD civil claims.
This question was answered on 23rd March 2026
The fees paid to the Davies Group for the management of claims for the last five financial years (FY) are as follows:
FY2020-21: £223,614
FY2021-22: £461,521
FY2022-23: £577,131
FY2023-24: £482,598
FY2024-25: £4,119,197
The significant increase in FY2024-25 is largely driven by the unprecedented high numbers of NIHL claims being received by the Department which has impacted costs as a management fee is applied per claim.
