British Coal Compensation
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have made any assessment of the number of complaint investigations suspended by the Legal Complaints Service in connection with the conduct of solicitors in the British Coal respiratory disease litigation and British Coal vibration white finger litigation.
- Answer
-
We understand from the Legal Complaints Service that it has suspended complaint investigations against one firm—Raleys Solicitors. As at 19 March 2009 the number of complaint investigations suspended involving this firm was believed to be about 160. Ministers will be meeting the Legal Complaints Service and the Solicitors Regulation Authority in June to review their progress on this important issue.
