§ Mr. HoyleTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what research his Department has(a) commissioned and (b) evaluated on the impact of fixed costs on existing legal expenses insurance premiums; and if he will make a statement. [19339]
§ Mr. HoonNone. My Department is, however, in close contact with the insurance industry. A fixed costs system would necessarily make the task of matching the risk being insured to the appropriate level of premium easier. The level of premiums must be a matter for each company offering policies.
