MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1986

THE COMMISSION CONSIDERS THAT INSURANCE COMPANIES SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO ESTABLISH A CODE OF PRACTICE FOR THE SUPERVISION OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THEIR AGENTS AND TRAINING PROGRAMMES AND FACILITIE SHOULD BE PROVIDED. THE REPORT CONCLUDES WITH PROPOSALS WHICH DEAL WITH THE SITUATION WHERE AN INDIVIDUAL ACTS AS THE AGENT FOR MORE THAT ONE INSURANCE COMPANY AND A DISPUTE MAY ARISE AS TO WHICH COMPANY IS LIABLE.

MR DE SPEVILLE SAID IT WAS NOW FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO DECIDE WHETHER TO IMPLEMENT THE COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION. THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE REPORT WAS COMPLEX AND HE DID NOT EXPECT THAT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD REACH A DECISION ON THE PROPOSALS FOR SOME MONTHS.

+THE REPORT IS THE RESULT OF CAREFUL STUDY AND CONSULTATION WITH BOTH THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY AND CONSUMER INTERESTS. I THINK

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE GIVEN AN ADEQUATE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS UPON IT, HE SAID.

VIEWS ON THE REPORT COULD BE SENT TO THE SECRETARY FOR ECONOMIC SERVICES ON 6/F, CENTRAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES, EAST WING, LOWER ALBERT ROAD, CENTRAL.
