Written answers
The sections in question relate to provision of data on written-off vehicles by motor insurers, in order to establish a database of such vehicles.
It has become apparent that it will be necessary to make some further minor technical amendments to the legislation to effectively implement these provisions, and my officials are currently working on appropriate amendments with a view to bringing them forward as soon as possible. In addition to the necessary legislative amendments, it will be necessary to ensure that the appropriate technical systems are in place to enable the compilation and sharing of data before the actual commencement of the provisions themselves.
