HC Deb 25 April 1934 vol 288 c1704
26. Mr. HALL-CAINE (for Mr. HUTCHISON)

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the facility with which some insurance companies evade meeting charges in respect of motor insurance, he will consider the adoption of a standard form of contract which all companies shall be compelled to use unless they can produce something better which his Department can approve?

Mr. STANLEY

I would draw my hon. Friend's attention to Clauses 7–12 of the Road Traffic Bill now before Parliament which are designed to prevent such evasions as he refers to. If my hon. Friend were to bring to my attention any particular points in connection with these clauses, I would of course take them into consideration.

Mr. WHITESIDE

Is my hon. Friend aware that the tariff companies already issue a standard form of contract?
