I have a question about what will become section 223C(2) of the 2000 Act. It states:

“This section does not apply to payments made in bad faith.”

If penalties are attached to making a claim in bad faith, what sanctions will there be if someone makes a bogus claim and under what legislation will such action be covered?

I do not have an answer for the hon. Gentleman at the moment. It might be helpful if I write to him.
