The Government’s figure, with which I started my contribution, has gone from £50 in November to £15 to £35 now, with the insurance companies themselves saying that £35 may or may not be achievable. “May or may not” is quite a loose phrase; “may or may not” means we do not yet know what the figure is. I would like to know from the Minister not just what we are going to find out on 1 April 2024: whenever this legislation is enacted, there will be a period between then and 1 April 2024. My hon. Friend the Member for Ashfield’s proposal says we should look at the figures earlier than 2024. I would like to know what the insurance companies are saving in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 or 2023—and, indeed, in 2024.
