HC Deb 10 March 1993 vol 220 c562W
Ms Mowlam

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what arrangements are in place for the modification of insurance agreements between public service providers and insurance companies in order to underwrite the service commitments outlined in the Citizens Charter White Paper (July 1991, Cm 1599).

Mr. Waldegrave

No special arrangements have been established in relation to the commitments set out in the "Citizen's Charter", Cm 1599. Government Departments do not generally insure, as it is considered more cost effective to deal with claims as they arise.
