Following completion of the motor insurance advisory board's, MIAB, final report in September 2004, the Department of Transport was assigned responsibility for policy and legislation relating to the cost and availability of motor insurance. One of the component parts of this work is to oversee the implementation of the outstanding recommendations of the MIAB's report and that work is ongoing.

The MIAB's final report indicated that 45 of the 67 recommendations contained in its 2002 report have been fully implemented and have resulted in significant reductions in motor insurance premiums.
