§ Mr. Anthony GrantI beg to move Amendment No. 17, in page 18, line 21, leave out 'or controller' and insert 'controller or auditor'.
The purpose of this amendment, which has been introduced following a similar amendment moved in Committee by the hon. Member for Glasgow, Craigton (Mr. Millan), is to include the present or past auditor of the insurance company among the persons who may be required to provide an explanation of books or papers of the company produced for inspection under this provision. As the hon. Gentleman indicated in Committee, the auditor could be in a position to give most useful explanations of matters in books or papers which he will probably have examined.
I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for raising the matter and I trust that he will agree that the point of his amendment has been met.
§ Amendment agreed to.
