Responses will be considered before amendments to the Road Traffic Accident Protocol and Civil Procedure Rules are finalised and presented to the Civil Procedure Rule Committee at its meeting on 6 June, with a view to their being approved by the Committee at its July meeting for implementation in October. The wider programme of work continues - particularly in relation to the accreditation of medical experts - and further changes will be implemented as soon as practicable.</p> answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 14/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara
