§ Read 3ª, with the Amendments (according to Order).
§ Clause 3:
§ Effect of certain contracts of insurance.
§ (3) No agreement between the parties to a contract of insurance to which this section applies, being an agreement made after the commencement of this Act and after any liability to pay a claim to which this section applies has been incurred by the insurer, shall be effective so as to extinguish or diminish that liability.
§ LORD ROCKLEYmoved, in subsection (3), to leave out "after the commencement of this Act and." The noble Lord said: My Lords, this Amendment is purely consequential on Amendments made by your Lordships in the Committee stage on this clause. The words which I now propose to leave out are unnecessary because an insurer's liability to pay "a claim to which this section applies" cannot arise until after the Bill has come into operation in view of the definition of that expression in Clause 3 (1).
