>Civil Liability Bill - 2nd reading, programme motion, money resolution Reforms the process for making whiplash claims. This is in response to the rise in spurious claims, and the government hopes it'll cut insurance premiums for motorists. Also changes the way compensation payments are calculated, which could save the NHS hundreds of millions of pounds. Started in the Lords so closer to becoming law than if it had started in the Commons.
This might sound very niche, but is a fascinating area actually.
There's an argument that the existence of an industry that effectively depends on the existence of diseases like whiplash (personal injury claims lawyers and the private doctors who they pay to provide reports to support their claim) actually increases the incidence of said diseases. Whiplash is the more dramatic example: countries with a well established pattern of litigation and compensation from insurance have a very high prevalence rate, whereas those countries without that culture of ambulance chasing litigation hardly see any people complain of it at all.
This book goes in to "great* detail about it:

It's not that people are particularly being dishonest and pretending to have symptoms when they don't, but when there is a financial incentive and you're surrounded by professionals telling you "you're still in lots of pain and suffer disability, don't you?" it can really effect your perception of your own symptoms. The lawyers and doctors involved have a vested interest in you being disabled and in pain, even if you didn't.
Always reminds me of this book: https://www.amazon.com/Whiplash-Useful-Illnesses-Andrew-Malleson/dp/0773529942
"Malleson details the evolution of whiplash from a common, short-lived disorder into a world-wide epidemic that has left millions permanently disabled. He exposes how some medical healthcare and legal professionals prey on the anxieties and greed of their clients. He argues that whiplash is only one of a long list of largely fabricated illnesses and injuries that will drain resources from the health care system."
