I wish to raise the issue of promised legislation to deal with insurance companies that are ripping off the people at this point in time. I have been contacted by a number of constituents. One lady who has a ten year old car had it tested under the NCT procedure. She was told by the insurance company that she would have to take it to the main dealer to get it certified as being roadworthy. Another constituent who had a ten-years no claims bonus had, unfortunately, to go to England to work. He had continuous insurance in England. He is back now and, thankfully, has a job, but is being told that his no claims bonus is null and void despite the fact that he has had continuous insurance for the past 13 years. This is what is going on in the real world.
