Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lord Dodds of Duncairn (Democratic Unionist Party). It was answered on Tuesday, 12 November 2013 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.


Motor Insurance Fraud

Question

Has the Minister made any assessment of the different levels of fraudulent claims in the regions of the United Kingdom? Has he discussed the issue with the Northern Ireland Executive, particularly given that many of the insurance firms are based in the rest of the United Kingdom, rather than Northern Ireland, where it is a major issue?

Answer

I am aware of certain figures showing that some areas have a higher propensity for claims than others. We are in the process of consulting a broad spectrum of stakeholders. If there are any we have missed, I am more than happy for the right hon. Gentleman to contact me so that we can include them.
