60. Mr. TEMPLE MORRISasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that third-party motor policies are being issued by certain insurance companies in which clauses are inserted making the policies ineffective if when 1977 an accident happens the policy-holder is under the influence of drink whilst in charge of the motor vehicle and is convicted of an offence under Section 15 of the Road Traffic Act, 1930; and whether he will consider the advisability of introducing legislation to deal with the matter?
§ Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAMMy hon. Friend is aware that some insurance companies include a "conviction for drunkenness" clause in their third-party risk policies. He does not think the matter calls for legislation.
