uin	112693
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2017 answer text <p>As a rule, insurers use their claims experience and other industry-wide statistics to assess the risks posed by an individual and set the terms and price at which they will offer insurance cover. The Government does not prescribe the terms, conditions or price that insurance companies may set, and does not generally intervene in these commercial decisions by insurers.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government remains concerned about the impact on motor insurance premiums from the high number and cost of whiplash claims. This is why we have committed to take firm action to reform the whiplash claims process and reduce the financial burden on consumers. Moreover, the Government has announced reforms to the Personal Injury Discount Rate, which affects the way that lump sum payments awarded to personal injury compensation claimants are calculated, and has an impact on motor insurance premiums. The new framework should ensure that claimants continue to receive the money to meet all of their needs whilst reducing the impact on other consumers through increased premiums. The Financial Conduct Authority has also recently announced a review of pricing practices used by insurers, which began this year.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 16/11/2017 15:56:51 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
