§ 26. Mr. RONALD McNEILLasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Government scheme of insurance against bombardment and aircraft risks includes policies covering risks of personal injuries by members of voluntary local fire brigades, who are at present insured by the local authorities of their districts in policies which do not cover the above risks; and, if not, whether arrangements can be made to extend the Government scheme so as to include such personal injuries?
Mr. RUNCIMANThe scheme for insurance against aircraft and bombardment risks does not cover risk of personal injury, and it is not proposed to extend the scheme to cover this risk.
