The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards needs to investigate this. There seems to be clear evidence that Osborne and his Party have been unduly motivated/influenced by the Insurance Industry to the detriment of their constituents/society for personal/party financial gain. The starting point is the June 2011 document: 'Conservative Interests In the Insurance Industry. Osborne has declared personal interests in the Insurance Industry'. You then follow that through to LAPSO and the further, fixed costs reductions to PI costs
You then consider the Transport Select Committee, an independent panel of MPs who unlike Osborne actually considered the global evidence of all stakeholders, reported categorically in 2013 that the limit should not rise.
You then consider all the private meetings at Number 10 between Osborne/Cameron and senior insurance officials with no invite ever extending to the Law Soc, Apil, Mass or any Claimant Society.
You then ask yourself rhetorically what fact finding mission did Osborne undertake that led him to conclude otherwise to the Transport Select Committee?
You then go back to the June 2011 document and question what financial incentives and/or future party donation promises have facilitated these reforms?
You then question the legality of the Insurance Industry lobbying of government and what potentially flows from that as regards the legality of consequential policy as a result thereof.
You then, at the very least, as above, start to prepare a letter of concern to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.
It's an insult to every Solicitors intelligence for Osborne to attempt to pass this off as justification for a £40 premium reduction- and he is crazy if he thinks anyone truly believes this is the true modus for the reforms.
I am evidence gathering at the moment but Osborne and his acolytes should know they are in for a very big surprise if they think Solicitors are going to sit idle and do nothing.
