To (partly) answer my own question below, a quick google didn't immediately show what evidence was submitted to the committee.

More importantly, I also couldn't see it on this page on the SRA website: https://www.sra.org.uk/sra/consultations/consultation-responses.page

So, what is the SRA's explanation for not including its submission to *this* Select Committee inquiry on that page?


As an aside, the conclusion of the committee's report (Who Guards the Guardians) on the issue of PIL and Leigh Day is interesting though:

"26. It is clear to us that legal firms were empowered by the MoD’s approach to IHAT to generate cases against service personnel at an industrial level. The MoD cannot claim that it has been a victim of the industry; nor can it claim that it had no way of foreseeing the creation of this industry. The activities of two law firms in particular, are now subject to investigations by relevant authorities which must remain a matter for them. The MoD must take responsibility for creating an environment in which the generation of cases—with little or no supporting evidence—was able to occur. They must identify remedies to ensure such a situation could never happen again."
