§ Mr. Alfred MorrisTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what representations the Minister for Disabled People has had from Artsline in regard to car insurance for vehicles driven by disabled people; what reply he is sending; what action he has taken; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ScottWe have received a copy of a letter from Mr. Roger Robinson, director of Artsline, to the chief executive of the Association of British insurers about the costs of car insurance for disabled drivers. The issue of insurance policies and their terms are for the commercial judgment of insurance companies. In 1989, the Association of British Insurers produced a dossier of advice for disabled drivers and undertook to investigate individual cases of difficulty. We understand that it will be sending a full reply to this case and we have asked for a copy of its response, in the light of which we shall write to Mr. Robinson.
