HC Deb 19 July 1967 vol 750 cc2407-8
Mr. Jay

I beg to move Amendment No. 256, in page 77, line 4, to leave out 'or of a registered society' and to insert: .'of a registered society or of an unincorporated body of persons'. I think that we could conveniently discuss it with the following Amendments, up to and including Amendment No. 263.

The changes here proposed are necessary because as a result of the reclassification which we made in Committee, the insurance legislation is now being applied more widely to classes of insurance business which were not previously controlled. The result is that certain new companies, some of whom may well be unincorporated bodies, would be brought under Board of Trade supervision. In cases such as that, it will be appropriate, I think, to modify the requirements of the principal Act in their favour.

These Amendments will enable us to do that in appropriate cases.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: No. 257, in page 77, line 5, leave out 'or society' and insert ', society or body'.

No. 258, in page 77, line 10, leave out 'or society' and insert ,society or body'.

No. 259, in page 77, line 15, leave out 'or society' and insert `, society or body'.

No. 261, in page 77, line 22, leave out 'or society' and insert `, society or body'.

No. 262, in page 77, line 26, leave out 'or society' and insert `, society or body '.
