Jonathan Ashworth – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Cabinet Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jonathan Ashworth on 2016-02-25.

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many civil law suits have been brought against his Department based either wholly or partially on grounds provided by the Human Rights Act 1998; how many such suits were settled out of court before a court judgment was delivered; and how much such settlements have cost the public purse since 2010.

Matthew Hancock

The Cabinet Office does not hold the information that has been requested as separate data for cases based wholly or partially on the Human Rights Act 1998 are not recorded.
