Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Jessica Morden (Labour). It was answered by Owen Paterson (Conservative) on Thursday, 16 May 2013 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Flood Insurance
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he is taking on flood insurance.
- Answer
-
We are at an advanced stage in negotiations with insurers towards producing a successor to the statement of principles. Today, the Association of British Insurers has written to say that insurers will continue to abide by the current agreement for a month beyond the end of June to allow further time for the outstanding issues to be concluded. I am placing a copy of the letter in the Library of the House. We are aiming to conclude negotiations as soon as possible to ensure that households can continue to access affordable flood insurance.
