civil liability bill (whiplash reform/discount rate revision - saving 500m per annum ) passed - just - its 3rd reading last night - I watched it - discount rate will change soon after royal assent is granted - likely end of nov. whiplash reform April 2020 - there will be 'ping pong' between the two houses in the meantime.

No us policies only UK Divi tbc in end of year report in March 2019 Vacancy for ceo to leave summer 2019 - speculation it could be Wilson who was removed from Aviva last week would be a good choice has helped share price over last week Discount rate and whiplash reform due to receive royal assent in dec 2018 Whiplash reform will save dlg £500m per annum due to be implemented April 2020 Discount rate change sooner likely feb 2019 one off saving 200m - could result in special divi or increase in year end divi Adverse weather in 2018 to cost 100m My profit target 600m for 2018 or 800m if results are changed to reflect discount change

Quality company.But undervalued at present.Probably the Winter claims.But when the dividend is declared investors will be buying.
