HC Deb 07 February 1983 vol 36 c255W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Minister for Trade what progress is being made in the liberalising of trade in non-life insurance; and when he anticipates the implementation of the European Community directive on the subject.

Dr. Vaughan

The Government are playing a full part in the work on liberalisation of trade in insurance in the European Community and more widely. We hope that the German Presidency of the EC Council of Ministers will succeed in removing some of the major obstacles to agreement on the draft non-life insurance services directive in the first half of this year.
