Dear Mr X,
You recently contacted me about the changes in the small claims limit in relation to vulnerable road users, and I followed up your concerns with the Secretary of State for Justice David Gauke. I have now received a response, as attached here.
Mr Gauke's response explains that the whiplash measures in the Bill will only apply to the occupants of a motor vehicle, and other more vulnerable roads users will be excluded. He also outlines why the Government feel now is an appropriate time to raise the small claims limit for personal injury claims, as well as explaining the Government's reasoning behind the decision.
I hope this has been a useful update, and please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions or concerns.
Best wishes,
Justine Greening MP
