Ministry of Defence: Civil Proceedings
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, to provide the annual cost of the contract with the Davies Group for the last 5 years for managing all MOD civil claims.
- Answer
-
The fees paid to the Davies Group for the management of claims for the last five financial years (FY) are as follows:
FY2020-21: £223,614
FY2021-22: £461,521
FY2022-23: £577,131
FY2023-24: £482,598
FY2024-25: £4,119,197
The significant increase in FY2024-25 is largely driven by the unprecedented high numbers of NIHL claims being received by the Department which has impacted costs as a management fee is applied per claim.
