Cost of motor insurance
Transport Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

The Transport Committee held a short inquiry into the cost of motor insurance, focusing on:

  • The reasons and consequences of recent increases in the cost of motor insurance
  • The impact on young people of the high costs of motor insurance
  • The extent to which the cost of motor insurance is influenced by the prevalence of road accidents, insurance fraud, legal costs and the number of uninsured drivers
  • Whether there are public policy implications of the rise in the cost of motor insurance and, if so, what steps the Government might take in response to them.

Follow up inquiry

In light of further concerns about the rising cost of insurance, the Transport Committee agreed to re-open this inquiry and took further oral evidence on 11 October 2011. The Committee published its report on 12 January 2012.
