answer text <p>The Secretary of State has made no estimate of the effect of people paying to recover and store their stolen vehicles on either individual insurance premiums or on general motor insurance costs.</p><p> </p><p>Motor insurers are responsible for setting the terms and conditions for the policies that they offer. They use a wide range of criteria to assess the potential risk a driver poses including the driver’s age, type of vehicle being insured which includes its group rating and level of security, postal area where the applicant lives and their driving experience and claims history.</p><p> </p><p>Motor insurance is a very competitive market so it often pays for consumers to shop around in order to achieve lower premiums.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The revised draft Airports National Policy Statement is clear that any potential scheme at Heathrow must comply with the UK’s civil aviation safety regime, regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). A detailed safety assessment will be required as part of the CAA’s airspace change process. This assessment includes the air traffic safety risks associated with the proposed airspace design and whether the level of air traffic control resource and infrastructure is appropriate to support the change safely.</p><p> </p><p>The Airports Commission did however consider safety as part of their analysis. They asked the Health and Safety Laboratory to conduct analysis of the scale of increase in crash risk associated with the three shortlisted schemes. The Health and Safety Laboratory’s report can be found here:</p><p><a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/airports-commission-final-report-operational-efficiency" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/airports-commission-final-report-operational-efficiency</a></p><p> </p>
