§ Mr. MaudeThe chairman of the Council of Lloyd's has recently submitted a memorandum recording the progress made to date. I have placed this memorandum in the Library. It shows that the Council of Lloyd's has now taken steps to implement 30 of the 70 recommendations in the committee's report, which was published in January this year. The memorandum also demonstrates that Lloyd's is heavily engaged in a programme of consultation on the remaining recommendations. As was the case when a report was last made to the House on this matter by the then Secretary of State for Trade and Industry on 8 April 1987, at column 273, implementation of the substantial part of the committee of inquiry's recommendations should be completed by the middle of 1989.
I look to Lloyd's to maintain the momentum generated so far, and I shall continue to follow Lloyd's progress closely and to keep the House informed.
