The Fifth Motor Insurance Directive (2005/14/EC) is due for transposition by 11th June 2007. My officials have completed a consultation process with the motor insurance industry, consumer interests, Government Departments and the legal profession. As the Fifth Directive amends the previous four motor insurance Directives, my officials are involved in a process of consolidating the legislation transposing these Directives and the Fifth Directive into a cohesive single piece of legislation. This is in line with the Government's White Paper on Regulating Better. It is expected that the consolidated regulations will be signed by me by the due date of transposition.
