Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the report by the Motor Insurance Taskforce Final Report, published on 10 December 2025, what steps she is planning to take to monitor the outcomes from the work by the Financial Conduct Authority in encouraging social media companies to prevent fraudulent content from appearing on their platforms.

The cross-government taskforce’s final report highlights the wider range of areas in which government is taking action; including taking steps to address vehicle theft and the cost of repairs. The government will continue to deliver against the actions set out in this report.

The FCA will continue to call for more action to be taken by social media companies to prevent fraudulent content from appearing on their platforms. Where the FCA identifies unlawful content, including ghost broking, ad-spoofing and material posted by finfluencers, it will seek to get the content removed and work with other partner agencies, including law enforcement, working to combat these activities.

The taskforce encourages the motor insurance industry to work closely with vehicle manufacturers to review the vehicle risk rating system.
