Ensuring that banks provide appropriate redress for their customers is a matter for the independent regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
The FCA has stated that it is keeping a close eye on how the industry handles all payment protection insurance (PPI) complaints and will be quick to challenge anything it thinks is unfair. The FCA is currently conducting a thematic review of PPI complaints-handling, and results of its investigation into larger firms' complaint-handling will be published later this year.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they are taking to ensure property is insurable from damage caused by fracking.[HL5573]

There is no reason to expect that hydraulic fracturing activities will have any adverse impact on property in the vicinity. There has been no evidence of any such effect in the UK to date, in over half a century of oil and gas exploration and production. Gas and oil production from shale rock through hydraulic fracturing should be broadly similar to the existing gas and oil production in terms of the impacts on health, local amenities and so on. The activities will be subject to the same robust safety and environmental regime, supplemented by new controls against seismic risks.
In addition, the UK Onshore Operators Group (UKOOG), which is the representative body for the UK onshore oil and gas industry, has published a Community Engagement Charter for the exploration and production of unconventional gas:

The Charter commits the industry to ensure that operators have, in place, insurance as well as response plans for the full range of operational events. The Department of Energy and Climate Change checks that licensees have insurance before granting consent to drill. Licensees are fully responsible for any damage caused by their activities, and have no immunity.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government on what basis they decided on exclusions for the insurance scheme Flood Re.[HL4924]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government on what basis they decided on exclusions for the insurance scheme Flood Re.[HL4924]
The aim of Flood Re is to provide support to households at high risk of flooding but without placing unsustainable costs on wider policyholders and the tax payer; the proposed scope of the scheme reflects that.
The proposed scope of Flood Re formed part of the public consultation on future arrangements for flood insurance, published in June 2013, where the majority of respondents agreed with the proposed approach.
Properties built after 1 January 2009 were not covered under the Statement of Principles agreement and on this basis continue to be excluded. For properties in Band H and equivalents in the Devolved Administrations, the proposed approach supports the Government’s policy objective of supporting lower income households as these are the people who are most likely to be struggling to afford flood insurance
Small businesses were covered by the Statement of Principles but only in so far as providing continued availability of insurance. Our research shows that overall there is insufficient evidence to justify Government intervention in the provision of insurance cover for small businesses. The Government’s position is that Flood Re is funded through residential insurance premiums and so should not be used to subsidise commercial insurance.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have any plan to remove the current exclusions in the insurance scheme Flood Re.[HL4925]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have any plan to remove the current exclusions in the insurance scheme Flood Re.[HL4925]
The government has no plans to alter the proposed Flood Re scheme, including the exclusions currently set out for the scheme.
