HC Deb 27 October 1997 vol 299 c690W
Sir Richard Body

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if she will make a statement on the current status of proposals for a fourth EU motor directive on motor insurance. [12512]

Mrs. Roche

The European Commission has adopted a proposal for a fourth Council directive on motor liability insurance and transmitted it to the Council and the European Parliament on 14 October 1997. The proposal is intended to assist people making claims for compensation for injury or loss arising from a road accident in another EU member state. It will be deposited in the House for Scrutiny in the normal way.
