HC Deb 17 June 1931 vol 253 c1737
47. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Minister of Transport what are the arrangements for requiring foreign visitors bringing motor cars to this country for short periods to be insured against third party risks?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

The special arrangements for foreign visitors as regards insurance against third party risks will be found set out in Part II of the Motor Vehicles (Third Party Risks) Regulations, 1930, of which I am sending my hon. and gallant Friend a copy.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

I am much obliged to my right hon. Friend, but is it the case under the regulations that a foreign motor car must have a third party insurance policy?

Mr. MORRISON

I am speaking from memory, but I fancy foreign visitors' cars must have an insurance in respect of the country from which they come. It is not compulsory to have a policy with a British insurance company. Those regulations are reciprocal. But I am taking risks, because I am speaking from memory.
