Over a similar period data from the Department for Transport shows accident rates have fallen by around 25%. This is clear evidence that the system is in need of further reform, which is why on 25 November 2015, in his Autumn Statement, the Chancellor announced new measures to reduce the cost and number of whiplash claims. The Government will consult on the detail of these reforms in due course and the consultation document will be accompanied by an impact assessment.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 12/05/2016 09:02:27 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
