INDUCED MOTOR ACCIDENTS

Early day motion 1697, tabled 14 June 2007 by Nigel Evans (Conservative). Signed by 52 members.

That this House notes the worrying increase in staged and induced motor incidents over the last seven years, especially in the North West; is aware of the increasing danger that this fraudulent activity poses to public safety as well as its role in pushing up insurance premiums; welcomes the work of the Insurance Fraud Bureau and AXA UK in raising awareness of this crime's impact; notes that there are a number of Government initiatives designed to address this problem; is concerned that the lack of a national strategy, backed by targeted resources, is hindering adequate detection; and calls on the Government to work with the police, the insurance industry and other appropriate authorities to draw up a UK-wide action plan to tackle this issue.

Signatures by party: Labour 25, Conservative 11, Liberal Democrat 11, DUP 3, Independent 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
