I propose to take Oral Questions Nos. 73 and 78 and Written Question No. 113 together.
The Inter-Ministerial Group on Motor Insurance, which I chaired, identified a list of measures to improve the environment for insurance, including motor insurance for young and more mature drivers. The group has been a success in the sense that the Ministers for Justice and the Environment are in the process of initiating a series of measures designed to improve safety on the roads, reduce uninsured driving, and improve the efficiency of the Courts in resolving personal injury actions. Where the implementation of measures requires legislation, such legislation has been, or will be, proposed by the Minister for the Environment or the Minister for Justice. The Deputies will appreciate that questions about progress on such legislation are a matter for the Ministers concerned.
The Deputies should be aware that a comprehensive list of the measures identified by the inter-ministerial group to improve the environment for insurance, has already been given to this House, notably by myself and the Minister for the Environment on 2 and 3 July 1991. Therefore, the recommendations of the Group are detailed in the records of this House and consequently are in the public domain.
