Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Diana Johnson (Labour). It was answered by Lord Benyon (Conservative) on Thursday, 9 December 2010 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Insurance Premiums (Flooding)
- Question
- What assessment she has made of the effects of proposed changes to her Department's flood defence budget on the level of insurance premiums for homes at risk from flooding.
- Answer
-
DEFRA is working closely with the insurance industry to maximise the availability of flood insurance cover. We are consulting on changes to the way in which Government funding is allocated to flood and coastal erosion risk management projects. That will help safeguard insurance terms by encouraging increased investment beyond levels that the national taxpayer alone can afford.
