Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of the Person At Risk of Violence fee on victims of domestic violence; and if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of making all personal details on the Individual Insolvency Register private.
Answered by Justin Madders - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)
The fees applied for Persons at Risk of Violence (PARV) orders should never have the effect of denying access to the courts. The government is presently reviewing the fee framework for PARV orders.
The government is also undertaking a wider review of the personal insolvency framework, which includes whether the Individual Insolvency Register should be private.
