HC Deb 16 July 2002 vol 389 cc250-1W
Adam Price

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what recent representations he has received from companies in high-risk sectors on their ability to secure cover for mandatory employer liability insurance; and if he will make a statement. [69864]

Ruth Kelly

The Government do not generally intervene in the terms and conditions of insurance policies. There is no statutory requirement for insurers to offer particular types of cover.

The Government are aware that some companies are experiencing difficulties in obtaining employers liability cover and are monitoring the situation closely.
