Written Question
Holidays: Personal Injury
Monday 15th April 2024

Asked by: Alex Cunningham (Labour - Stockton North)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what progress she has made on establishing an exceptional compensation scheme for holidaymakers who have outstanding (a) loss of life and (b) serious personal injury claims against UK companies.

Answered by Kevin Hollinrake - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)

The Government understands that an alternative route for Thomas Cook personal injury claimants is being pursued that would potentially be financially beneficial to them.

The Government is committed to establishing a payment scheme for customers of Thomas Cook with serious and long-term injuries for which the company would have been liable but for its insolvency, if it is established that there are no alternative routes to compensation.
