The Speaker's wife, Sally Bercow, is being sued for libel over a tweet she posted linking a former Tory politician to false claims of child abuse.
Her lawyers Carter-Ruck confirmed Lord McAlpine's legal team had made a claim for damages limited to £50,000.
Ex-Labour council candidate Mrs Bercow, 43, is the wife of John Bercow, the speaker of the House of Commons.
She was one of several high-profile figures who mentioned Lord McAlpine's name on social networking site Twitter, wrongly linking him to claims of child abuse at the Bryn Estyn boys' home in North Wales.
Among the other well-known tweeters were comedian Alan Davies and Guardian newspaper columnist George Monbiot.
Mrs Bercow temporarily deactivated her Twitter account after the incident but has since reinstated it.

IMO, she'll settle out of court .....
