HC Deb 21 May 1935 vol 302 c184W
Sir W. EDGE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can make any statement as to the intention of his Department to introduce new regulations governing motor insurance; and whether it possesses any statistics to show the number of motorists who have been left without insurance owing to the failure of the companies with which they were identified.

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I would refer to the answer which was given on 30th April to the hon. Member for East Birkenhead (Mr. White). I understand that the total number of motor vehicle policies which have become invalid during the past four years in consequence of the winding-up of the five insurance companies concerned is about 188,000.
