Paul Geddes, CEO, Direct Line Group, commented:

“We welcome the introduction of the Bill and wholeheartedly support the principle of full compensation for those who have suffered life changing injuries. We believe that the changes to how the personal injury discount rate is determined and the whiplash reforms which this Bill proposes will be good news for motorists as benefits from these reforms flow through.”
