Proceeding contribution from Lord Benyon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 September 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Flood and Water Management.
Flood and Water Management
The hon. Gentleman is right, and that relates to the issue of insurance as well. I have been taking forward one measure. Housing associations or council-owned housing stock offer an opt-in scheme on contents insurance. I believe strongly that we should encourage people to do an opt-out scheme. Fifty pence a week can give you £5,000 worth of contents insurance. People would be more likely to have that if it were an opt-out scheme. There is so much that we can do to protect.
