§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will now make a statement on the discussions he has had with the European Economic Community on the Directive No. C/105/14, dated 15th August, 1970 and agreed to on 31st January, 1972 concerning the harmonisation of insurance 183W premiums and standards and the abolition of the Green Card System.
§ Mr. PeytonAs I have previously informed the hon. Member, this draft Directive, which has still to be issued by the Council of Ministers, does not deal with insurance premiums. Nor does it affect the liabilities which are currently compulsorily insurable in the United Kingdom. Discussions have been confined to matters of timing and drafting.
