§ Mrs. BeckettI have not had any discussions with transport providers on the issue of insurance cover for travel on 1 January.
Responsibility for the transport and insurance industries rests with the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions and the Treasury respectively. In my role as Chairman of MISC4 I have however received reports on Year 2000 preparations across the transport and insurance sectors.
