§ Mr. BowisTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster when he expects to make an announcement on European Community harmonisation of life assurance and compulsory motor vehicle insurance.
§ Mr. MaudeI expect that in the latter half of this year the Commission will submit to the Council of Ministers234W proposals for directives to facilitate the freedom to provide services in the fields of life assurance and motor liability insurance. Also later this year I expect that the Commission will submit a proposal for a further Council directive harmonising the laws of member states relating to motor liability insurance.
