Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when he plans to bring forward legislative proposals to reform the personal injury discount rate.

On 30 November the Justice Select Committee published its report ‘Pre-legislative scrutiny: draft personal injury discount rate clause’, in response to the Government’s draft legislation.

The Government will publish its response to the Committee’s report and stakeholder comments received on the draft legislation together with details of how it intends to proceed as soon as possible after it has reached conclusions on the way forward.
