§ Mr. WATTasked the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been called to the practice of insurance companies in Scotland, who do business with farmers and small holders, of accepting premiums 2526W for the insurance of a number of animals and, when a claim arises on one of these, refusing payment, and at the same time refusing to return the premium on the remainder of the animals, notwithstanding that claims thereon when exigible will be similarly rejected; and whether he will introduce legislation making insurance companies liable when they have accepted premiums?
Mr. McKINNON WOODI am not aware of any such practice as my hon. Friend refers to, but if he will give me the facts on which his question is founded I will be glad to consider them.
