Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will have discussions with representatives of the insurance industry on regional variations in average car insurance costs.
Answered by Guy Opperman - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
Individual motor insurers are responsible for setting premiums and the terms and conditions of their policies, and are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
However, the Department is aware that motor insurance costs have been increasing. The Minister for Roads and the Economic Secretary to the Treasury met with representatives of the insurance industry on the 13th of May to discuss this matter.
