HC Deb 09 March 1982 vol 19 c385W
Mr. Bob Dunn

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will introduce legislation to require motorists to display on their windscreens certificates of valid insurance.

Mrs. Chalker

This suggestion has been considered in the past. Such an obligation would present considerable practical difficulties and at present I see no need to impose it. Insurance certificates are checked when licences are renewed and the police have powers to require drivers to produce them at any time.
