HC Deb 11 March 1965 vol 708 cc144-5W
75. Mr. Mapp

asked the Attorney-General if he will appoint a Committee of Inquiry to inquire into and make recommendations in respect of the efficacy of compulsory insurance of motor vehicles on the highway and of the law and efficacy of the compensation of victims of highway accidents.

The Attorney-General

The proposals that have recently been put forward for a compulsory insurance scheme to cover all victims of road accidents obviously require careful consideration. But they have far-reaching implications, not least in relation to existing schemes of social security, and these implications will need further study before it is decided whether the subject can usefully be referred to a Committee of Inquiry.
