§ 84. Mr. Silvermanasked the Attorney-General whether his attention has been drawn to the case of Smith v. Pearl Assurance Company, Limited, recently decided in the Court of Appeal; and whether any steps are intended to amend either the Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Act, 1930, or the Poor Persons Rules, so as to obviate the injustice occasioned by such cases?
§ The Attorney-General (Sir Donald Somervell)As I stated in reply to a similar question by the hon. Member for Hitchin (Sir A. Wilson) on Monday last, the attention of my Noble Friend the Lord Chancellor has been called to the case mentioned by the hon. Member, and he is considering what steps can be taken to deal with the situation disclosed in the judgment.
