I have no proposals for renegotiation of the existing agreement. Where a person has sustained serious and permanent disablement, or has died as a result of injury, and it is reasonably certain that the disablement or death was caused by the negligent use of the untraced vehicle, the bureau are prepared to give sympathetic consideration to making an ex gratia payment.
