§ Sir E. GRAHAM-LITTLEasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the current annual report of the Medical Research Council states that certain persons have a special liability to be the subject of accidents and that consequently the number of accidents can be reduced by eliminating the individuals who exhibit such liability; and whether he will consider introducing, in place of the present judicial disqualification in isolated cases, legislation which would eliminate, in the interests of themselves and others, the small minority of accident-prone persons?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAI am aware of the statement to which the hon. Member refers. The council suggest that the first step to be taken is to ascertain what information on the subject of accident-proneness on the part of the drivers of motor vehicles is in the possession of insurance companies; and in regard to this matter I communicated with a number of insurance institutions last month.
