§ 17. Captain PETER MACDONALDasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the present unsatisfactory position with regard to insurance companies becoming insolvent and unable to meet their liabilities in respect of motor insurances and other matters, he will consider the desirability of introducing legislation which will enable his department to carry out an annual audit of all insurance companies engaged in insuring motorists against third-party risks?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANThe position is receiving my careful consideration and I hope to be in a position to make an announcement soon after the Whitsuntide Recess.
