HC Deb 16 July 2002 vol 389 c174W
Mr. Roger Williams

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will make a statement on the willingness of the insurance industry to provide employer liability cover for small quarries. [66762]

Mr. Jamieson

I have been asked to reply.

The provision of insurance is a matter for insurance companies in the light of their commercial understanding of the market. There is no statutory requirement on the insurance industry to provide employers' liability compulsory insurance.
