HC Deb 21 February 1973 vol 851 cc106-7W
Mr. Roger White

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether it is his intention to require motor insurers to reveal from their records details of their policyholders' medical condition.

Mr. Peyton

No. My proposal, which will require legislation, is to require motor insurers to notify the licensing authority only of the names and addresses of people to whom insurance cover has been refused on medical grounds. Inquiries would then be made by the licensing authority into the eligibility of such people to hold a driving licence.
