To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps he is taking to support the funding of third-party litigation in London.

Answer

Sarah Sackman

The Government recognises the critical role third-party litigation funding plays in access to justice and is committed to ensuring it works fairly for all.

The Government welcomes the Civil Justice Council review of litigation funding, which will help inform the approach to potential reforms. We are considering the report carefully and will outline next steps in due course.
