HC Deb 22 January 1981 vol 997 c210W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will make a study of schemes whereby prospective parents insure their children against primary physical or mental disabilities, or those appearing within eight months of birth.

Dr. Vaughan

On the evidence available to me, I see no reason for departing from the general principle that personal insurance is a matter for the individual, who may, of course, take professional advice before reaching a decision.
