- Question
- To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make a statement on the Government's discussions with the commercial insurance sector regarding commercial cover being available in respect of the area not covered by Pool Re' where commercial exclusion is absolute; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
Mr. Flight: To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make a statement on the Government's discussions with the commercial insurance sector regarding commercial cover being available in respect of the substantial area not covered by Pool Re' where presently commercial exclusion is absolute; and if he will make a statement. [79016] Ruth Kelly: The availability of terrorism cover in the commercial market is a matter that we have and will continue to discuss with the insurance industry. We are not persuaded that there is an issue of sufficient substance to justify primary legislation to amend the definition of acts of terrorism in the Reinsurance (Acts of Terrorism) Act 1993.
