Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what discussions he has had with the Insolvency Service on the delay in commencing reforms to conditional fee agreements for insolvency litigation in the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012.
The Government is taking forward the Coalition Government’s commitment to review this issue and it will set out further details later in the year. As part of that process, the Government will continue to engage with relevant stakeholders, including Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, the Insolvency Service and insolvency practitioners and their representatives.
