PREMIUMS FOR FIRE INSURANCE
INVESTIGATION SUGGESTED (Special) WELLINGTON,. Sept. 23. An investigation to determine whether premiums charged by fire insurance companies in New Zealand are fair and reasonable was sought by Mr D. W. Coleman (Lab., Gisborne) in a question to the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser) in the House today. He also asked whether, in the event of premiums being found to be too high, Mr Fraser would move towards giving relief to policy-holders. Mr Coleman added in a note to his question that according to the report of Mr Girling Butcher, inspector of fire brigades, the premiums collected by fire insurance companies in New Zealand last year were £948,176, whereas the losses paid by the companies were only £228,939.
