HC Deb 10 June 1996 vol 279 cc14-5W
Mr. Byers

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what plans he has to extend the powers of the insurance ombudsman to cover insurance policies taken out by commercial concerns. [32160]

Mr. Nelson

None. The insurance ombudsman bureau is a voluntary body established and paid for by the insurance industry. Any changes to the scheme would therefore be a matter for the industry to decide.
