Initiate a Parliamentary Inquiry into the UK Insurance Industry

Closed 43 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK Insurance Industry operates under practices which are in direct contrast to the interests of its customers.
Involving multiple entities in any single claim increases costs which are passed on to the policy holder's insurer.
Cases are settled to avoid costs in spite of no fault situations
