§ Mr. Alasdair MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the need for travellers to purchase holiday insurance, with particular reference to activity holidays; what assessment he has made of the adequacy of holiday insurance packages sold with activity holidays; and if he will issue guidance to holidaymakers with regard to insurance packages for activity holidays. [28139]
§ Mr. Fatchett[holding answer 9 February 1998]: We have made no assessment of holiday insurance packages but strongly recommend in our consular publicity material that all travellers abroad take out adequate comprehensive insurance. It is essential that the cover includes medical evacuation, especially for activity holidays.
