HC Deb 13 March 2002 vol 381 c1111W
Mr. Cousins

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what arrangements are in place to secure third party war risk and terrorism cover for British civil passenger aircraft after 20 March. [42962]

Ruth Kelly

My right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary announced on 21 January that the Troika replacement insurance scheme for UK aviation would be extended for a final time until 20 March. There is nothing further to add to this announcement. There are now commercial providers of third party war risk and terrorism cover for airlines in the market.
