HC Deb 27 June 2001 vol 370 c116W
Mr. Dismore

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if she will make a statement on the future of the indemnity principle. [53]

Ms Rosie Winterton

The Government believe the indemnity principle prevents legal representatives from entering into transparent funding arrangements with their clients. The Government's views have been made known to the Civil Procedure Rule Committee and we are working with them to devise ways in which the Government's policy can be brought into effect.
