What interests me about what the hon. Gentleman says is the impression that some companies give that by simply filling in the form, people can somehow get redress for their grievance. Does he accept that that is because the claims culture, in the context in which he is discussing it, is driven by the profit motive? One does not condemn the companies for that, but it underlines the importance of properly regulating them.
