Commons whiplash inquiry finds for claimants

[Guest]

MPs today warn the government that its plans to cut the cost of whiplash claims will impair access to justice and leave the door open for claims management companies.
In a damning report on the cost of motor insurance, the Commons transport select committee says the proposed increase in the small-claims court limit will only encourage fraudulent and exaggerated claims.

....according to the Law of Unintended Consequences. Or, if you're a Conservative government, don't stop and think about the consequences before acting, just do it, completely cock things up and then bugger off and leave someone else to sort out the mess you've created.

When I saw the title of this thread, it did make me wonder, at first, if some MPs had been caught in compromising circumstances in the Sergeant-at-Arms' office at the House of Commons. :biggrin1:

I wonder if any government or party whips were involved? I wonder if they invited Mr Whippy? :biggrin1:
