The right question here is whether the proposed PI Reforms of themselves evidence breaches of sections 7.7 and 7.8 of the Ministerial Code 2015?
I think it's beyond doubt that they do- the reality, which I suggest everyone in the legal world already knows, is that this Conservative government is trading off our historical held right to damages for pain and suffering for nothing more than continued Insurer donations and for individual MPs own self gain ( those 40 MPs that have declared interests in the Insurance Industry ). .
It is an insult to every solicitor's intelligence for the Conservatives to say the reforms are justified as they will lead a motor policy insurance saving- per the above article the evidence on this is stacked against them and now it transpires that they will not even intervene to ensure the savings are passed on.
This shows you the depth of conflict they are in with this issue.
One would expect a competent Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to already be investigating this.
