question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many whiplash claims there have been in each of the last five years.
tabling member constituency	Caerphilly
tabling member printed	Wayne David
uin	19270
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2015 answer text <p>Government data is compiled by the Compensation Recovery Unit at the Department for Work and Pensions. The figures for the number of whiplash claims are shown in the table below:</p><table><thead><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total Motor PI Claims</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total Whiplash (including claims for neck and back)</strong></p></td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><p>2010/11</p></td><td><p>790,000</p></td><td><p>740,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011/12</p></td><td><p>830,000</p></td><td><p>760,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012/13</p></td><td><p>820,000</p></td><td><p>750,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>770,000</p></td><td><p>700,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>760,000</p></td><td><p>690,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>The Government remains concerned about the number of claims and the impact they have on motor insurance premiums. Despite an overall decrease since 2011/12, claims volumes are still at historically high levels, being some 50% higher than in 2006. In his Autumn Statement the Chancellor therefore announced tough new measures to control costs and reduce the number of unnecessary whiplash claims made.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 14/12/2015 14:08:25 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2015 answer text <p>The government has always been clear that judicial review, when used properly, is a crucial component of the rule of law.</p><p>But too often the system is open to abuse. That is why we have taken forward reform, such as the creation of the Planning Court, which we have implemented with the assistance of the judiciary, and the changes in the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015, which we are implementing. The reforms will speed up the process for people who have arguable grounds and a genuine case to put.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 08/12/2015 16:47:10 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
