On Thursday 18 April, there will be a debate in the House of Commons chamber on “Access to redress schemes”. This topic was decided by the Backbench Business Committee. The debate will be led by William Wragg MP on the following motion:
“That this House recognises the challenges faced by individuals and businesses in accessing effective dispute resolution and obtaining redress in cases of injustice; believes that the Government needs to address these specific challenges, namely a fragmented and inconsistent redress landscape; considers statutory guidance to be an essential measure to ensure compensation and redress schemes follow common principles and lead to fair and independent outcomes; and calls on the Government to create a statutory guidance with common principles for setting up and operating a redress scheme.”
