HC Deb 22 April 1969 vol 782 cc71-2W
Mr. Weitzman

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has yet concluded the agreement with the Motor Insurers' Bureau in relation to compensation for victims of hit-and-run accidents.

Mr. Marsh

Yes. The Agreement was completed on 21st April, 1969, and applies in relation to accidents of this sort occurring on or after 1st May, 1969. I have placed copies in the Library. Copies are being printed and will be made available through the Stationery Office as soon as possible. I explained the main features of the Agreement in my reply to the hon. Member for North Angus and Mearns (Mr. Buchanan-Smith) on 15th October last.

I should like to take this opportunity to repeat my thanks to the Motor Insurers' Bureau for its co-operation in this matter.—[Vol. 770, c. 93–4.]
