§ Mr. LintonTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what action he intends to take to investigate the activities of non-legally qualified claims assessors.[86390]
§ Mr. VazThe Lord Chancellor intends to establish a small committee to investigate the provision of legal advice by non-legally qualified persons who act as claims assessors, whose business is to process claims, on behalf of clients, arising as a result of death or personal injury. In particular, the committee will examine the sector's cost, standard, appropriateness and customer satisfaction. The committee will report its findings and make recommendations on whether any further control of this sector is needed in the public interest.
