A revised proposal form for commercial-vehicle insurance is being issued by Invincible Policies, Ltd., Whittington House, 7, Whittington Avenue, London, E.C.3, and it is interesting to note that the premiums have been carefully set out, in separate schedules, for A, B and C licences. Each schedule is divided into two sections, one set of rates showing the premiums for annual policies and the other the rates for instalment policies. The latter may be paid either in four equal monthly payments, or in three equal two-monthly payments.
