Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Alex Chalk and Judith Cummins

Tuesday 14th May 2024 Commons Chamber

[Judith Cummins (Bradford South) (Lab)]

T3. Today, at an event organised by my hon. Friend the Member for Bradford East (Imran Hussain), I am meeting my constituents who were encouraged by the solicitors firm SSB Law to pursue no win, no fee claims against defective cavity wall insulation providers. SSB Law subsequently went into administration, leaving my constituents with extortionate legal costs from defendant lawyers. What steps is the Minister taking to ensure that the Solicitors Regulation Authority has the necessary powers to provide my constituents with the protection, compensation and justice that they deserve?

[Alex Chalk]

I thank the hon. Lady for raising that important point on behalf of her constituents, and I will write to her.
