Some constituents have written to me expressing their
concerns on the Non-Contentious Probate (Fees) Order 2018 and to asking me to
vote against this measure when it is brought to a vote in the House of Commons.
This is an issue that has previously been brought to my
attention and because I agree with constituents that it is indeed concerning, I
have decided to write directly to the Justice Secretary David Gauke, drawing
his attention to what constituents have said and for him to set forward the
position of the Government on the matter and the reasoning behind this
proposal.
I will be in touch with constituents with information
from the minister when I receive a reply.
