CIRCULAR Uo. D 86
Foreign Office,
21 st July, 1950
btsuraitch: of official auis
Sir
Uith reference to official circular ITo. 0203 of 14th December,
1S47, it has been decided that, from 1st October, 1250, all official
vehicles which are to be insured ggainst third party risks shall be
covered by one global policy which will be effected in London.
Detailed instructions of the operation of the scheme will be sent
to you in due course.
2. The following particulars should therefore be submitted to
Conference and Supply Department without fail by 1st September, 1950:-
(a) Complete identification of every vehicle in your territory to
be covered by the policy on 1st October, i.e., make, year of
manufacture, horse-power, seating or carrying capacity, chassis
and engine numbers, local registered number.
(b) Name of Government Department owning the vehicle where this is
different from the Foreign Office.
3. In those cases where the vehicles are at present insured
locally, steps should be taken to terminate the policy on 1st October
and to claim a rebate for the unexpired period of the policy. If
no rebate can be obtained the insurance should be allowed to run out,
and you should report, also by 1 st September, the date on which such
vehicles will cease to be insured locally so that they may be
incorporated in the London policy at the appropriate time.
4. The cost under the new scheme will be a flat rate of £ 10 per
vehicle per annum. In the case of non-Foreign Office vehicles,
refunds will not be repayable locally, as hitherto, but will be
collected in London^
5. Heads of Hiss ion cars which are run on the new basis, whereby
their cost of upkeep is met direct from public funds and not from
frais, will be insured against third-party risks only, under the
global policy, and should be included in lists submitted. Local
comprehensive policies should be cancelled as described in paragraph
3. Gradually all Heads of Mission cars will be brought into the
new scheme and comprehensive insurance will cease to exist. This
circular therefore supersedes circular despatch Ho* 0109 of 10 th
June, 1947.
6 . This circular is also being addressed to Consular Officers
outside the metropolitan territory of the Government to which you
are accredited, and to Consular Officers who have no Superintending
Mission, if they have official cars. '.here there is more than one
such Consular Post in the same territory the senior officer should
submit particulars of all official vehicles in that territory.
7. These instructions do not apply to posts in countries vhere
there is a Tar Office Claims Commission.
I am, with great truth and regard
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
K.G. YOUNGER.
