Rebecca Long Bailey – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Rebecca Long Bailey on 2016-07-21.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, for what reason her Department has increased the small claims limit for minor whiplash claims.

Sir Oliver Heald

The government remains concerned about the number and cost of low value personal injury claims and has announced robust new measures to tackle them – including raising the small claims limit for personal injury claims to £5,000. This change has not yet been made.
