asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the frequent hardships caused to members of the public through non-insured motorists being unable to pay damages awarded against them by a court order arising from an accident and/or through an insurance company repudiating liability on account of a misrepresentation on the proposal form by the assured; and whether he will consider appointing a departmental committee to advise him in what manner the present legislation can be strengthened and amended in order to safeguard the public in these circumstances?

The recommendations on this subject of the recent Committee on Compulsory Insurance are at present under consideration by the Departments concerned.

Will the right hon. Gentleman take into consideration that where a person has made a false statement upon an application for insurance there shall be no liability on the insurance company?
