§ Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will introduce legislation to prevent motor vehicle insurance companies from discriminating against unemployed persons in the granting of insurance policies; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. HowardI have no plans to introduce such legislation. I have seen no evidence to suggest that any serious discrimination of this kind exists. The terms and conditions of insurance policies are matters for the commercial judgment of insurers.
