answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>The Government continues to keep offences and penalties under review to ensure that the courts are able to deal with driving offences appropriately and proportionately.</p><p> </p><p>The Government also recognises that there are concerns about sentencing for driving offences. In October 2017, the Ministry of Justice published its response to a consultation on driving offences and penalties relating to causing death or serious injury. The response confirmed proposals to increase the maximum penalty for the offences of causing death by dangerous driving and causing death by careless driving whilst under the influence of drink or drugs, from 14 years to life and to create a new offence of causing serious injury by careless driving. Proposals for changes in the law will be brought forward as soon as parliamentary time allows.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 23/10/2018 14:52:54 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 9 May 2018 to Question 140558 on motor vehicles: theft, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of mandatory insurance cover for the cost of recovering stolen vehicles from the police.

uin	151047
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2018 answer text <p>In the UK and many other countries the minimum insurance requirement for using a motor vehicle is third party liability cover. This ensures injured parties are financially protected in the event of a collision whilst helping keep the cost of insurance affordable for all motorists. Many motorists however choose to take out more comprehensive cover, which depending on the terms of the policy, may include cover for the cost of recovering their vehicle if it is stolen. If such comprehensive cover were to become mandatory this would likely increase the cost of insurance for motorists. For this reason the Government has no plans to make such cover mandatory.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 15/06/2018 12:58:27 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
