HC Deb 07 December 1932 vol 272 cc1621-2W
Sir J. HASLAM

asked the Minister of Transport if he is now in a position to state when he proposes to introduce legislation to enable voluntary hospitals to obtain repayment from the insured persons of the costs hospitals now incur in attending to the injured in motor accident cases?

Mr. PYBUS

Sub-section (2) of Section 36 of the Road Traffic Act, 1930, enables hospitals in certain circumstances to recover from insurance companies expenses incurred in treating motor accident cases. I regret that I cannot see my way to introduce further legislation on the subject.
