§ Mr. Dubsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he requires British persons abroad in the Government service, who have diplomatic immunity, to insure their motor cars and conform to parking and traffic laws.
§ Mr. WhitneyAll diplomatic service officers serving abroad are expected, consistent with our obligations under the Vienna convention on diplomatic relations, to respect their host country's laws and regulations, including parking and traffic laws. Specific instructions are issued by all overseas posts to ensure that officers who are road users have taken out adequate insurance on their motor cars.
