I refer the noble Lord to my Written Statement of 12 July 2012 (Hansard, col. WS 145) which referred to the announcement by my honourable friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Ministry of Justice (Jonathan Djanogly) on the same day:

"In response to the Written Parliamentary Question from Frank Doran on 5 March 2012 about the commencement of the Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Act 2010 (UIN 98039) I undertook to make a further Statement before the Summer Recess (Hansard, 5 March 2012, col. 537W).

The position remains that no date has yet been set to bring the Act into force. The Ministry of Justice is continuing to work with interested parties to prepare the way for commencement at the earliest practicable date. As stated in the report on the implementation of Law Commission proposals [HC 1900] presented by the Lord Chancellor to Parliament on 22 March 2012 this is unlikely to be until 2013.

I will make a further Statement in the autumn".
