Mr. Martyn Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what plans he has to discuss with the Association of British Insurers problems relating to the insurability of homes and businesses at risk of flooding. [139462] Miss Melanie Johnson: I have been asked to reply. Both I and the Minister responsible for flood and coastal defence, have recently held meetings with representatives of the insurance industry to discuss how the industry is responding to the floods and also to discuss issues of insurability for homes and businesses at risk of flooding. We urged the insurance industry to continue to give maximum priority to dealing with flood and other severe weather-related claims. We were assured that claims are being--and would continue to be--dealt with as speedily and effectively as possible. The Government will be looking to the whole industry to deliver on this commitment, and encourage all insurers to aim to meet the highest possible standards. Looking to the future, industry representatives made it clear that the industry is keen to provide continued insurance cover for homes and businesses around the country, and would be encouraging individual companies not to make hasty judgments on large premium increases or future insurability. Government and industry will need to work closely in partnership to deliver continuing protection for homeowners and businesses at risk of flood damage, to ensure that issues of vital importance are taken forward effectively and speedily (including the appropriate development of planning policies, building regulations, sustainable construction practice and design, farming practice and flood defence policy).

Laura Moffatt: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many indemnity undertakings were given by Departments, under section 16 of the National Heritage Act 1980, for the six-month period ended 30 September; and what was the value of (a) contingent liabilities in respect of such undertakings given under that section which remained outstanding at 30 September, (b) non-statutory Government indemnities in respect of loans handled by the Government Art Collection which remained outstanding at 30 September and (c) non-statutory undertakings to Her Majesty in respect of loans from the Royal Collection which remained outstanding at 30 September. [140830] Mr. Chris Smith: The provision for the Government Indemnity Scheme is made by the National Heritage Act 1980. The scheme facilitates public access to loans of works of art and other objects for public display made to museums, galleries and other such institutions by private owners and non-national institutions. It does this by indemnifying lenders against loss or damage to their loan. Loans covered by the scheme must be for public benefit. The scheme also covers loans of such objects for study purposes within borrowing institutions where this would contribute materially to the public's understanding or appreciation of the loan. Examples of this are enhancing interpretation or explanation to the public of objects or bringing into the public domain the conclusions of any study. In the six-month period ended 30 September 2000, the following undertakings to indemnify were given under section 16 by the relevant Departments for objects on loan to national and non-national institutions: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Numbers Department for Culture, Media and Sport 664 Scottish Executive Education Department 89 The National Assembly for Wales 56 Department of Education for Northern Ireland 33 _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
