HC Deb 17 December 1946 vol 431 c1753
36. Mr. Hollis

asked the Secretary of State for Wax why in view of the fact that a private owner of a motor-car has an obligation to see that all persons driving his motor-car are insured, his Department does not accept a similar liability for any vehicles, so that persons who suffer accident from such vehicles, when driven other than on military duty, may obtain damages.

Mr. Bellenger

Cases of accidents occurring on or after 1st July, 1946, involving service vehicles driven off duty, are covered by the statement made on that date by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
