HC Deb 01 March 1999 vol 326 c525W
38. Miss McIntosh

To ask the President of the Council what recent discussions she has had with transport providers on problems concerning millennium compliance and insurance cover for travel on 1 January 2000; and if she will make a statement. [72134]

Mrs. Beckett

I have not had any discussions with transport providers on the issue of insurance cover for travel on 1 January.

Responsibility for the transport and insurance industries rests with the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions and the Treasury respectively. In my role as Chairman of MISC4 I have however received reports on Year 2000 preparations across the transport and insurance sectors.
