HC Deb 20 December 1984 vol 70 cc273-4W
Mr. Lyell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he will bring forward legislation to reform the law on non-disclosure and breach of warranty in relation to insurance contracts affecting private consumers.

Mr. Fletcher

I am embarking on discussions with the insurance industry to see whether changes to their statements of insurance practice can be made to deal with problems in those areas. I shall review whether legislation is appropriate and feasible in the light of whatever changes may be agreed. I shall report the Government's conclusion to the House.
