Answer
Owing to a conflict of interest arising from my husband’s membership of a medical defence union, I have delegated key decisions in relation to the personal injury discount rate to my Permanent Secretary. The responses of the statutory consultees are presently being considered and I expect the outcome of the review to be communicated to stakeholders by the end of October.
