§ Mr. Danceasked the Minister of Transport if, in order to protect the public, he will take steps to require motor in 430W surance companies to examine Ministry of Transport test certificates before renewing motor policies in the same way as licensing authorities require these certificates before renewing licences.
§ Mr. MarshNo. The requirements of this aspect of road safety are sufficiently met by the checks when vehicle licences are renewed. But I have asked motor insurers to consider the possibility of including in the renewal notices sent to their policy holders a reminder about the importance of proper vehicle maintenance.
