The MP for East Londonderry, Gregory Campbell, has filed an Early Day Motion (EDM) in the House of Commons calling for an overhaul of the Motor Insurers Bureau.

Campbell is believed to have filed the EDM in a bid to protect innocent motorists.

The EDM said: "That this House notes that motorists who are the victims of accidents caused by uninsured or untraced drivers face increases on their premiums through no fault of their own; and calls for the uninsured drivers agreement and untraced drivers agreement between the Government and the Motor Insurers Bureau to be amended to prevent innocent motorists' premiums being arbitrarily increased as a result of being victims of accidents caused by uninsured or untraced drivers."
