HC Deb 28 March 1995 vol 257 c532W
Mr. French

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will set out the policy options he has(a) considered and (b) pursued to tackle the problem of uninsured drivers.

Mr. Norris

We are considering various options with colleagues in other Government Departments, the insurance industry and the police; these include the suggestion that drivers should be required to display a windscreen insurance disc. The changes we propose to the vehicle registration and licensing system will provide for a more effective regular check on vehicles and their owners. As well as other benefits they will contribute significantly to combating the problem of motor insurance evasion.
