HC Deb 12 January 1977 vol 923 c492W
49. Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether, in view of the rising costs of motor insurance, he will consider a switch from vehicle cover to each independent driving licence holder.

Mr. Horam

A change of this kind has been considered in the past, and was then thought likely to increase costs; more policies would have to be issued and claims would tend to be more complex. I am writing to the hon. Member to develop the reasons in more detail.
