§ Dr. Vaughanasked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will make a statement on his recent discussions with the medical defence bodies; and whether he has asked for any assurances, or been given any undertakings regarding their administration and financial status.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisMy officials have been consulting major medical defence bodies as to whether they are carrying on insurance business as defined in the Insurance Companies Act 1974. Until this question has been resolved, it would not be appropriate for me to seek assurances or undertakings about their administration and financial status.
