Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the Government's timescale is for implementing any changes resulting from his Department's recent call for evidence on fraudulent gastric illness claims.
On 9 July 2017, the Secretary of State announced a package of measures to tackle abuse in this area. One of these was the Call for Evidence which closed on 10 November. We are considering the way forward and will announce the next steps in due course, with a view to implementing any changes as soon as practicable.
