To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to clarify whether the prohibition on the use of damages-based agreements in opt-out collective proceedings in Schedule 7 to the Draft Consumer Rights Bill will cover third-party litigation funding agreements.[HL5668]

Although the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, my right hon. Friend the. Member for Twickenham (Vince Cable), has not received any submissions from the Scottish Government in relation to the draft Bill, BIS officials are working very closely with officials in the Scottish Government to ensure the Bill works in Scotland in view of the different legal system and that it respects the devolution settlement. I expect this constructive dialogue to continue throughout the scrutiny process.
