Lord Blencathra – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Blencathra on 2014-03-24.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to investigate United Kingdom law firms pursuing claims of unfounded abuse by British soldiers.

Lord Faulks

There are no plans to investigate the firms as they are not funded under the legal aid regulations or their contract with the Lord Chancellor in the Al-Sweady inquiry. It would not be reasonable to investigate the firms under their contract in relation to a matter arising outside their contract.
