I propose that our report recommend that action be taken to standardise protocols for sales representatives who move from a company insurance policy to a private insurance company. A protocol similar to that introduced in respect of emigrants should be in place because the same principle applies. An emigrant may acquire driving experience for five or ten years in another jurisdiction and a sales representative will acquire five or ten years experience driving for a company, albeit not under his or her name. If a protocol can be provided for one group, a similar protocol can be provided for another group. I will take Mr. Thompson's word when he states there has been a 50% fall in the cost of insurance premiums for returning emigrants and the reasons therefor.
