My Department's role with regard to motor insurance is confined to the enactment of policy relating to the relevant Road Traffic Acts. I have no role in the regulation of the motor insurance industry. Motor insurance is provided as a private contract between the supplier and the customer. Any fraudulent activity by a claimant is a matter for the insurance company to investigate.
