§ 104. Sir J. Langford-Holtasked the Minister of Transport what representation she has received from the National Farmers' Union urging compulsory insurance cover against damage by vehicles to all classes of property in addition to the present requirements of cover for damage to persons; and whether she will introduce legislation to this end.
287W
§ Mr. John MorrisSince December, 1965, the National Farmers' Union has twice suggested that motorists' liabilities for property damage should be made compulsory, claiming that farmers experience difficulty in recovering the costs of damage to farm walls and fences. But we have no evidence of particular hardship in this connection, and do not propose to introduce legislation.
